Hello Hidden Forest Elementary! My name is Anissa Rae Villarreal, and I am so honored to be your child's 1st Grade teacher! This will be my first year teaching elementary school. I completed my clinical teaching semester at Hidden Forest Elementary and fell in love with the students, staff, and community. I graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies specilizing in K-6th grade with a focus in ESL (English as a Secong Language). 

I am very proud to say that I am the first person in my family to attend and graduate from a 4 year university. I moved to San Antonio in the fall of 2014 and fell in love with the city and it's amazing and rich culture. I have a wonderful husband, Keenan, and the most adorable cat named Kitty! When I am not teaching I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, and spending time with my family.

I look forward to teaching our 1st Graders and promoting a fun and safe learning environment. I believe that togetehr we can be successful in inspiring life long learners.
