Ms. Ojeda's Third Grade Class

Hello!

My name is Maria Ojeda, and it is an honor and a joy to be your child's third-grade teacher this year. I have had the privilege of teaching in the Union City School District for the past 21 years. Throughout my career, I have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and, for the past several years, Third Grade at Colin Powell School.

Teaching has always been my passion, and I truly enjoy creating a warm, supportive classroom where students feel valued, encouraged, and excited to learn. I believe that every child has unique strengths and the ability to succeed. My goal is to help each student grow academically, socially, and emotionally while building confidence and developing a lifelong love of learning.

I look forward to getting to know your child and partnering with you to make this a wonderful and successful school year.

I graduated from New Jersey City University and hold the following credentials:

• Master of Arts in Educational Psychology
• Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
• P–3 Teacher Certification
• ESL Certification
• Bilingual/Bicultural Endorsement

Thank you for entrusting me with your child's education. It is truly a privilege to be part of their learning journey. I am excited to work together with you to make this a year filled with growth, confidence, kindness, and wonderful memories.
