         Hello and welcome!  My name is Charlotte Bondoc.  Students call me Mrs. Bondoc or Mrs. B.   I am a lifelong learner and love learning about people and everything around me.

          I am originally from Indonesia, a Southeast Asian country with over 14,000 islands. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with a diverse population of over 1000 ethnic groups.  My family and I moved from Indonesia to the United States over 30 years ago.  I've lived here for most of my life now and have been a U.S. citizen for many years.  I met my husband here, married here, and we have two children together. 
         I have been teaching in the Chino Valley Unified School District for over 13 years - first, as a substitute teacher and now, as an adult ESL teacher at the Chino Valley Adult School.  I've been teaching here since 2018. Building relationships with my students is why I love teaching English here.  
        I truly enjoy every moment in the classroom with my students, seeing their English skills improve, and watching their confidence grow. Below are some past class photos, including my Spring 2020 class that was featured in a local newspaper, The Chino Valley Champion (3rd photo below).

        In my free time, I love spending time with my family, exploring new foods and different places, and playing music.  I enjoy creating and using my hands.  I love to write - free-writing in journals, letter-writing, writing with fountain pens, exploring typography, handwriting, cursive writing, and calligraphy. Using my technological skills to improve online spaces is one of my new favorite skills that I am exploring. I also love roller-skating, but I haven't roller-skated in a while now.  I am learning to love taking care of plants, especially my classroom succulents and monsteras!

        Every day I get to make a difference by teaching in California public classrooms - and I am thankful for this opportunity.  I look forward to learning more about my students every day.   If you are a new student to my class, I can't wait to meet you, and look forward to learning more about you!  If you see me around campus, be sure to wave and say, "Hello!" 

Thank you,

🌺Mrs. Bondoc
