Hi everyone! My name is Erick Valdez and I am a 1st grade teacher at Paradise Canyon Elementary School. I was previously with LAUSD for 12 years where I was able to teach Kindergarten, 1st grade, 4th grade and 5th grade, so I have taught both ends of the education spectrum :)
I love to be outdoors and am very social. I am a very family strong Christian and am 1 of 2 children, with my older brother being the other! I have recently gotten engaged and looking forward to planning my wedding with my soon-to-be bride on March 25, 2017 I absolutely love my job and the rewards it has in seeing children grow so much by the end of the year; especially in 1st grade! Although it is a big jump from Kindergarten, by the end of 1st grade, our students are ready to tackle the world! I look forward to a wonderful school year and getting to meet everyone! |
