My name is Roseann Esquivel and this will be my 12th year teaching elementary school.  I taught kinder for 7 years, 3rd grade for 3 years and this will be my second year teaching 1st grade!  Teaching is not just what I do, it's who I am.  I teach to make a positive difference in the world as well as for my beautiful family. I have a wonderful husband who makes me laugh a lot! We have 2 amazing children. Our oldest is Aspen who is beginning her sophomore year in college.  She hopes to teach creative writing in the future.  Our youngest is Alessandro and he is 5 years old.  He is beginning kindergarten this school year! There are no words to describe how meaningful my family is to me, but what I can say is that the love I have for my own family is reflected in the classroom with my students. I am looking forward to a fantastic 2018-2019 school year!
