Susie G NavarijoSusie G. Navarijo is a retired first grade teacher. She taught thirty years at Cable Elementary in the Northside District in San Antonio, Texas, where she was one of the first bilingual teachers in the district. In 1986 she was selected Bilingual Teaher of the Year for the San Antonio Area Association for Bilingual Education. Because she had to divide her groups into English and Spanish, as well as by ability, she developed methods that allowed her to stress commonalities in both languages. Mrs. Navarijo received her Bachelor's of Education degree in 1972 and her Masters of Education degree in 1979 from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonia, Texas. She is certified as an Elementary Bilingual/ESL teacher. After retirement, her love of children and success in teaching brought her to tutor migrant children. This book will allow Mrs. Navarijo to pass along her successful method, as well as her experiences, with other teachers, tutors, and parents in hope that her belief that every child can learn will become a reality in every classroom in America.
