Hello and welcome to the 2019-20 school year!  I am excited to be working with you and your child this year.  I am passionate about teaching and learning and my hope is to pass on that love of learning to your child during this fun and challenging year. 

This will be my eighth year teaching second grade at Chief Joseph School of the Arts, and my fifteenth year teaching in the West Ada School district.  Prior to teaching second grade, I was a special eduation (resource room)  teacher working with students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.  I am a Boise State University graduate and you will frequently hear our class cheering for BSU during football season!  I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and also have an endoresement in Special Education.  I am highly qualified in the areas of general education, special education, and literacy.

I am the proud parent of a 12 year old daughter and I am lucky to be a step-parent to two boys who are 17 and 20.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, cooking, gardening and going to the movies.

I look forward to getting to know you and your family this year!

Mrs. Zuniga :-)
