Intent to Enroll

My name is Maribel Rosales Aranibar and I’m delighted to teach 2nd grade at Hawking STEAM 2. I was born and raised in Bolivia; South America. I graduated from SDSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies to later achieve my Multiple Subject Bilingual Credential, also through SDSU, GoAztecs! 

​

I love, and completely agree, with Hawking’s school vision that each child is gifted and talented in their unique way, and I have the courage, patience, perseverance, and resilience to try different strategies, resources, and activities to help them find their strength, as they enhance their wonderful minds embracing who they are.

​

I’m conscious of the different challenges that this year will bring due the pandemic; however, together we are a strong team, where everyone plays an important role. Certainly, Hawking STEAM is an example of teamwork where parents, staff, and teachers arduously work for the success of each student. I look forward to growing and thriving together as a family! GO Rockets!

Hello! My name is Anna Johanns and I am so excited to begin my third year at Hawking STEAM Charter School 2 and my first year as a second grade teacher! I started my teaching career as a music teacher, long term substitute, and IA for the 3rd/4th teams! 

 

I grew up in Iowa and attended Waldorf University for my undergrad. At Waldorf, I double majored in Music Education and Church Music with a Religion minor. I enjoyed singing in the choirs, playing percussion in the Wind Ensemble, and volunteering through local opportunities! Last year during Covid, I was fortunate enough to attend SDSU furthering my education and obtaining my multiple subject credential to go along with my single subject credential in Music.

 

I moved to California 2 and ½ years ago and was thrilled to be hired at Hawking. I love the family environment with student success and safety as our main focus. I love incorporating multiple subjects in lessons, project-based learning, and planning multisensory activities to reach all types of learners. One of my main goals is having a student centered classroom and integrating technology and manipulatives to reach maximum success for all students. I'm so excited for this new opportunity as a 2nd grade teacher and can't wait to get to know all my new students; along with continuing to build lasting relationships with previous students and all staff! 

Hello, my name is Soledad Palacios. I was born and raised in the Imperial Valley.  I am incredibly happy to be teaching 2nd grade here at Hawking 2. I have been working for the school system for 12 years as a tutor and paraprofessional. I graduated from National University with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies, and I will be graduating with a Master of Arts in Education in the Fall of 2021.

​

I believe in creating a safe and inclusive learning environment for all my students, while keeping high expectations and celebrating their successes. I look forward to working with my colleagues and staff to provide our students the support and guidance they need during the upcoming school year.
