MY FAMILY

Hi!

My name is Mrs. Lorena Salunga. I invite my students and parents to call me "Mrs. Salunga". I am excited to welcome you to my classroom this year.

A little bit about me:

I have been happily married to my husband Gerald for 15 years. We have two beautiful daughters, Frances (14) and Princess (10).

I've been teaching for almost 2 decades. Teaching Lottery Pre-K for 11 years in the U.S. and 9 years in 5th and 6th Grade in the Philippines. This will be my 2nd year teaching at Luella Elementary. I graduated from Republic Central Colleges (Philippines) with my Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I also received my Masters in Administration and Supervision. I enjoy teaching because I love to help and watch my students grow every day and learn how to be their best selves. My goal is to make a positive impact on my students each year and to make sure that my students can read at their grade level and above before the end of the year. Every summer, I love planting vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, mustard, okra, bitter melon, squash, pepper and a lot more. I always spend my free time with my family. We love to travel, going to the beach, fishing, camping, watching movies, cooking and baking and food tripping. Family is so important to me, and I also believe that my classroom reflects family and coming together as a team and working together. 

I am confident that this will be a fun, challenging, but exciting new year in Second Grade!!
