Miss Yvette Fregoso Flores is the new long term sub for the Spanish class of Mrs. Curutchague while being a college student of Stanislaus State. This is her first time teaching and subbing a class with no background.
“This my very first teaching position as a long term sub,” said Flores.
As a new teacher and student herself, it can be difficult to be able to balance class work and school work, but for Flores, it’s a walk in the park.
Flores stated, “I really try to prioritize what like I have to do per day and how I can better support my students on a daily basis and I have to remind myself I’m a student as well, so I really try to like manage my time and I have a planner so I plan out what I have to do everyday.”
She was offered this position based on her fluent Spanish speaking skills and also her capability to read and write the language. When offered the opportunity of working as a long term sub, she immediately agreed. She believes this will furthermore improve her relationship with the staff, hoping to work with them in the close future and show what she has learned from college.
Flores stated, “I thought it’ll be a great opportunity to get my foot in the door, get to know LBHS staff, administration and get to kind of practice what I’ve been learning in college.”
She is a former student of Curutchague, so this opportunity furthered her motivation to work for this class as its long term substitute teacher.
Flores stated, “I was a former student of Mrs. Curutchague. We have a really good bond I looked up to her a lot as a teacher and there’s been times where I needed help with my college work so I’ve asked her for help and things like that, so I said yes in a heartbeat.”
Flores is working to finish her teaching credentials program presently right now at Stanislaus State. This will be her last semester taking method courses of lectures and next semester, she will be able to start student teaching, something she’s been working really hard to accomplish.
Come by room 40 and give Miss. Flores a warm welcome to LBHS.
