Mrs. Perez
Hello! I am excited to be your child’s SAGE teacher this year. I am a southern girl – I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and then my husband and I raised our family in Jacksonville, Florida. We transitioned to become Midwesterners in 2004 and I have loved experiencing the four seasons here – I am an outdoor enthusiast! I love gardening and challenging myself to learn new skills. I have three children who are grown and starting families of their own. I love the challenge of trying to keep up with the students’ enthusiasm for learning!

First Day of SAGE
SAGE Spanish
Your student receives a total of 30 minutes of Spanish instruction a week. This amount of time will not make your child proficient, but it will give them an introduction to the sounds and use of the language.
We use Spanish at the SAGE center to help students work on their skills of:
-persistence
-dealing with frustration
-problem solving and flexible thinking
Our conversational, interactive approach allows all students to come to class and participate. Whether it’s their first year of Spanish or their fifth, all students are given the supports to learn at their level.
- Third graders are introduced to greetings, pets, prepositions and story vocabulary.
- Fourth graders will learn greetings, food, clothing and preferences.
- Fifth graders topics include greetings, family, personal descriptions and Day of the Dead.
