Hello!  I am Margarita Vázquez and this is my fifth year teaching 2nd grade at Somerset Academy.  Since a very early age, I knew I wanted to teach.  I graduated from the University of Houston in 1993 and I have been teaching an array of subjects to different age groups ever since.  I must say, though, that what I truly enjoy the most is teaching young children the foundations of reading, writing, and math, among other important skills and subjects. 

My education philosophy is to strive to be the kind of teacher that I would want for my own children.  I am married and I have three daughters at Somerset Academy.  As both mother and teacher, I believe it is important to foster a secure and nurturing environment in which children can learn.   To that end, I work hard to provide all my students with the opportunity to grow, be challenged, and achieve success in the classroom. 

Like William Arthur Ward, it is my belief that "the mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."  It is my job to teach and inspire your children to learn!
