Hello Fifth Grade Families!

This is going to be a great year! We are excited to be teaming up to teach your child this year.

Kristina Mendez

This is my sixth year teaching fifth grade. I am so excited to help your child learn and grow. We have a lot of fun and exciting things planned for this year! As we all work together, your student will establish a great foundation in their future. 

I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies and Multiple Subject Teaching credential from California State University San Bernardino. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading and playing with my puppy, Daisy. 

Erika Vigil

I am extremely excited for this upcoming school year! I love being part of the Etiwanda Family here at Terra Vista. I feel very fortunate to work with the most amazing fifth-grade team. This is my eleventh year teaching; previously, I taught 3rd grade and Kindergarten. I received both my Bachelor's degree and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. I also attend Concordia University of Irvine where I received a Master's degree in Education.

I love to spend time with my loving family and great friends. I especially enjoy playing games and being outdoors where I am able to hike, bike, kayak, and camp. Additionally, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and most of all teaching!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mendez and Mrs. Vigil
