About Mrs. Castaneda
Welcome to 4th grade at Highcroft Drive Elementary! My name is Rachel Castaneda and this will be my seventh year teaching fourth grade at Highcroft Drive Elementary School. In 2009, I graduated from the State University of New York at Geneseo with a dual degree in Childhood and Special Education. I then taught Special Education in New York for three years in the fourth and fifth grade.
I moved to North Carolina in 2013 from my hometown of Babylon, New York. My family still lives in New York and I go visit them whenever I can. In my free time I enjoy reading, shopping, and anything that has to do with art! I also love to run and do outdoor activities. My husband and I first met when we were in kindergarten! We got married in New York in 2015. We have a daughter named Lola who is about to turn one on September 9th. Lola is a fun and silly baby who we love so much! I am so happy to be a fourth grade teacher at Highcroft Drive Elementary. I know that we have a fun, learning filled year ahead of us. Welcome back for the 2019-2020 school year!!! |
