Ms. S. Berumen
I've been teaching since 1997, so I hope I know what I'm doing by now! I've taught at a few different high schools including Whitter High and Garfield in East L.A. - go Bulldogs! But I love it here at Chino High School. The kids are fun and very likeable. It's my goal to help them on their way to being a successful adult, especially by convincing them to use technology as part of their assignments.
Since I live in Chino, I consider the students my neighbors and my kids, and that's why I don't mind if they reach me on the weekends or after hours. (I prefer if they use Remind 101 to reach me.)
I work hard to create assignments that are challenging, but manageable. I believe kids create their own luck in class by following directions and focusing on completing their assignments on time. When grading, I think- Forgiveness is always given to those willing to learn from their mistakes! To me, FAILURE stands for First Attempt In Learning Usually Resolves Eveything.
PARENTS!
Please join my Remind 101 app so we can stay in contact.
Each student has the paperwork on applicable Remind number.
