Mrs. Cuanas brings unique perspective to Waldo social studies


By Ana Karina Victoria and Rosio Lopez

Mrs. Cuanas is the new student teacher for Mr. Blommendahl. We wanted
to know more about her and what she had done in her life. We also
wondered why be a social studies teacher and not something else.
Q: Where were you born?
A: Portland, Oregon.
Q: What places have you been?
A: Hawaii, Alaska, Jamaica, Seattle, San Francisco, Texas, and Florida.
Q: Do you have kids? What are their names?
A: Adrian and Gabriel are their names.
Q: If you could go to one place that you haven’t been, then which place would it
be?
A: Anywhere in Africa, probably Tanzania.
Q: What has been your favorite place that you have visited so far?
A: Hawaii, because there are so many things to do and I don’t have to
worry about international laws.
Q: When did you decide you wanted to teach social studies?
A: Two years ago, because I wanted to work directly with youth and change
my career.
Q: What college did you go to?
A: Willamette University.
Q: Is social studies the only thing you teach?
A: No, I also teach language arts.
Q: Was social studies your favorite class when you were in middle school?
A: No, it was science.
Q: What places did you apply to teach?
A: Salem-Keizer and Portland areas.
This is what we learned about Mrs. Cuanas and about her life. We also
found out about what she accomplished in her life. If you ever wanted
to know about her life, we wrote about it. Mrs. Cuanas has been a very nice teacher this year, and we wish her good luck during her job search this spring.
