Dear students, as the new school year begins, I wanted to
welcome you back.
The first day of class is the day where you will receive general information about your classes, your teacher expectations, rules,
and more.
Maybe you already know me from previous years, but if you don't, you can read more about me at our school website (link is below) where I have included a brief description of my teaching credentials.
Considering the time and age we are living and the
integration of technology into just about any sector of our society including
education, and being such a powerful tool for continuing education and the work
world, it is my purpose to
use technology in this class as much as it
is possible.
Another important advantage of the use of technology is
the environmental
preservation. By using technology we
contribute to cut our paper use and other resources, and consequently the
impact it causes in cutting trees to produce paper, pencils, etc.

As a humane educator, I believe in the power and promise of Humane Education to create a better more humane world. This gives me a sense of purpose, and a personal commitment to do all my best to inspire my students to become solutionaries to the most critical issues of our times, doing the most good and no harm to people animals and the environment.
All the information
pertaining to our class can be found online

Finally, I wanted to let you know that I am here for one reason, and one reason only:
TO TEACH YOU
TO INSPIRE YOU
TO HELP YOU GROW
I'll do my part. The rest is up to you.
I hope
we have a productive and exciting new school year based on mutual respect and cooperation.
Your
Teacher:
Mr. Michel Estopinan.
