Mrs. Maria Hernandez » Third Grade

Third Grade

A Big Welcome to another School Year...
I am Mrs. L. Hernandez and I look forward to being your child's teacher.  I am well prepared to do so because  I have 16 years of experience in various grade levels.  I graduated from UTPA with a Bachelors at a Summa Cum Laude level, a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, Bilingual Certification, and Principal/Leadership Certification.
 
In spite of all these accomplishments, I want you to know that my parents immigrated to this country and showed me how to work hard and not give up.  The best way to break a poverty cycle or improve your human capital is still through education. I am living proof of it. Educating your children is still the greatest gift you can bequeath them. 
 
I have been married for 34 years to Moises Hernandez.  My husband and I served as Youth Pastors for 19 years.    We have raised three boys who are contributing to their communities.  Josue is a math graduate from Texas A&M & attending Harvard for his Masters in Math. He is also versed in 5 languages.  Caleb is a trainer for Division 1 athlete prospect at Denver, Colorado. Caleb also married and I am elated to have my first daughter, Madison. She is an alumni of Texas A & M.  Obed is a high school state powerlifting champion  and two-time collegiate national champion.  He is has earned his professional powerlifting card and has been invited to the Arnold Schwarzenegger invitational.   
 
My promise is to educate your child with the same passion that I used to educate my own. In the hopes, that one day you also can say...
 
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 3 John 1:4
