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.
