Welcome to 5th grade!
A Little About Mrs. Ortega..
I love being a teacher at Elizabeth Traditional, and am delighted to be your teacher! I was born and raised in upstate New York, and truly love the outdoors. Overall, I am a very adventurous person, love to try new things, and love learning. I often practice yoga, hike, and love spending time with our dogs - Luna and Athena.
I graduated from Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York with my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. Afterwards, I worked as a teacher in Connecticut before moving to North Carolina with my husband, Aaron. This will be my second year teaching fifth grade at Elizabeth Traditional.
My main goal is to instill a love for learning in you. I want you to come to school curious about the world and to be endlessly asking questions! I want you to feel safe and respected, and always expect you to give that respect to others as well.
