Fourth Grade

- Ms. Ybarra
  
  My name is Ms. Ybarra, and I am so happy to be a part of the St. Patrick community. I grew up in southern California but I am excited to now call the Bay Area my home. i am a life-long Catholic and value my faith and Catholic traditions, especially those embedded in Hispanic culture. I am passionate about the arts and I most recently taught STEAM curriculum to middle schoolers, where I worked with students exploring technology, art, and science.
  
  I am so excited to be working with fourth grade this year and I love the enthusiasm students bring to the classroom on a daily bases. I also love working with students who may need extra support with focus and/or social skills. I know that every child can be successful in the classroom, given the proper support. I can't wait to have you join us in fourth grade!
