2nd & 3rd Grades
Dear Ladera Families,
I am very excited to be teaching at Ladera for the eleventh year in a row, and I know this is going to be another great school year! I received my bachelor’s degree in Human Development from UC Riverside, my teaching credential from Chapman University, CLAD certificate from UCSD, and my masters in reading with a language arts specialist credential from Cal State Fullerton. I taught first grade for two years in the Chula Vista District. Since Ladera opened, I have taught 1st grade, second grade, three combination classes, (K/1, 2/3 & 3/4) third grade and fourth grade.
Now, for a little about me…I live in Rancho Santa Margarita. My parents live in Laguna Niguel, and are volunteers in my class. My brother and sister-in-law live in Carlsbad and have a six year old boy, Jack, and a four year old girl, Lily. They also have an adorable dog, Shadow. I have a spoiled rotten cat, Bailey, and two equally spoiled Golden Retriever dogs, Simba and Nala. All my pets are rescues! (As I am sure you have guessed by now, I am an animal lover.J) I have volunteered at various animal shelters since college, and have been a regular at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter for the past nine years. I also love the outdoors, sports, and traveling…it’s the Navy brat in me!
I am thrilled to be teaching in such a wonderful community, and to be a member of the Ladera staff. I am looking forward to having a fun, productive year! Go Leopards!!
Sincerely,
Megan Sommers
