My name is Tina Salinas and I am thrilled to be your child's First Grade teacher!!!  I have been  married for 39 years to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 wonderful grown children.  This is my 36th year teaching, the last 25 years which have been in Etiwanda School District.  I have taught grades K-5 with 28 of those being in first grade!! 

I can't wait to help your child learn, grow and succeed this year.  I will strive to provide enriching, motivating and rewarding virtual classroom experiences as we continue to learn to read, write, and work with numbers through hands on activities and exploration.  We will also practice respecting others, being good citizens and making good choices.

You will experience great growth with your First Grader this year!!  The foundations of reading, writing, and number sense will be continued and soon you will see changes in their thinking and approaches to problems and problem solving.  They will become better readers, writers, mathematicians, explorers, critical thinkers, storytellers, inventors, leaders and so much more.  I am so excited to begin this learning journey with you and your child!!!!
