Hola amigos!
I am Lorena Rivaldo, First grade teacher from the Dual Language Program.  I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education focused in foreign languages: English, French and German. I have 11 years of experience teaching in kindergarten and first grade. I came to the USA in 2017 and I am very excited to be part of the Glen Arden Community.

Every day I approach teaching with enthusiasm, passion, love, and creativity because I want to motivate and inspire my students to enjoy learning. I love having the opportunity of being an International exchange teacher because it has allowed me to reach a lot of people and touch their hearts in a positive way. 

I believe that learning about other languages and cultures challenges students’ ideas and helps expand their knowledge by transforming the way they think about the world around them.
