– Camps / After School Teacher -Yenni Reyes
I was born and raised in Cuba. After living in Miami for more than seven years I decided to move to Austin. Now, I call Austin my home. I have a BS degree in Veterinary from Cuba University. After moving to Miami, I discovered my passion for teaching children. Ever since, I have attended various professional training’s in early childhood education. I also have an Early Childhood director credential from Miami. I have spent the last years in Miami as After School lead teacher. Although I enjoy all aspects of the classroom, Children’s Literature is my first love. I try to include books throughout as many of our learning activities as possible. I enjoy passing on the joy of reading to my students.
– Science – My name is Francisco Moreno and I have been actively involved in education for about 5 years now. This past year, I taught 1st grade at a private school and loved working with students on creative projects and science lessons. My goal as a teacher for this summer is to ask students questions that will later expand into creative and fun projects.
