MEET THE TEACHER

Hi, my name in Ms. Angulo. I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and express my
excitement about working with your child this year. I love teaching history because the lessons we learn
in the classroom often transcend into our student’s real lives. I strongly believe every student can grow
and develop by examining the past and the current issues we will cover in class. I grew up in Inglewood
and moved to Long Beach, California to pursue higher education at California State University Long
Beach.
