Meet the Class of 2009-2010

Welcome to a new year in Mrs. Staton's class. This year we have 24 students, four of whom are brand-new to America! (Last year there were only 16 students in my class....). I would like to introduce to you the members of our class. Together we represent 9 different countries!

I will put a picture of a country's flag and then list the students who are from that country.

From the United States, we have Amiayah, Miajia, Devin, Emerald, Breanna, Angela, SheMira, Erick, Brian, Walter and Mrs. Staton.

From Mexico, we have Guillermo, Chabely, Wendy, Brenda, Carlos, Itzayana, and Enri. With this many Spanish speakers, I'm hoping they will teach me something this year!



Brian's family is from Colombia (although he was born in America.)



Walter's family is from Guatemala (although he was also born in America).



Leshley and Genesis are both from Puerto Rico. Genesis's mom serves as our school's bilingual secretary!




Tui is from Vietnam. His brother, Ti, was in my class last year!

One of our new-to-America students in Ali, who is from Iraq.

Two of our new-to-America students are from the Kareeni State of Myanmar (Burma). These students are Bomeh and Mehreh. Bomeh was with my class last year for the last few weeks of school so she could see what school was like. I am so glad to have her with us again this year.



And finally, from the country of Turkey, is our newest student, Kaan. He is the fourth of our new-to-America students.

I guess you could say this year's class is Mrs. Staton's United Nations!! I can't wait for multicultural week. I'm sure my families will have a lot to share with us.
