THE SECRET LIFE OF YOUR TEACHER The Secret Life of Mrs. Becerra My Home This cute deer has been hanging out in our neighborhood. This is Reesie. We’ve had her for 2 ½ years. The vet thinks she is about 4 1/2 years old. This is my husband, Bryan, sitting with Nigel & Lily. Nigel died about 8 years ago. This is my house. I live in Cleveland Heights with my husband, my dog, and 2 cats. This is Lily napping on the couch. She loves her blue blanket. Lily got stuck in her favorite blanket. We found this kitten two years ago in a Hosta bush. So now her name is Hosta. We were going to give her away, but decided to keep her. My Family My aunt and I rode a moped around Block Island. Lily and Sadie are BFFs! These are my parents. You might meet my mom this year. My dad died just over 3 years ago. Lily and Sadie wanted to be in the picture, too. This is my sister (Monica) and I in Las Vegas. We were about to see a show called “Jersey Boys.” These are my grandparents. My grandpa is 93 years old. He fought in WWII. My grandma died in March. My sister got married in July in CT. I was in her beach wedding. Monica and I went for a walk in Las Vegas. My Friends This is my friend Emily, and her “lion,” Gregory.

We went to Hocking Hills! I will see them in 2 weeks. I bet that most of you know Miss Rollins! You will see her walking around school all year long! We were eating dinner at Geraci’s. When I Am Not At School… I like to play tennis. I play 1-2 times per week. I love to read. These are some my favorites!!!!!! I am in a book club. Once a month I talk about books with my friends.

My all time favorite movie is “ET!” Rift Valley Children’s Village • July trip • Volunteer at orphanage • Read • Math • Love • Care My Favorite Foods and Restaurants Popcorn and cookies are two of my favorite snacks. I love to eat at Dewey’s Pizza! I like to stay healthy by eating fruits and vegetables. These are my favorites. Four of my other favorite restaurants are: Chipotle, Champps, and Taza. Did You Know? I HAD a yellow motorcycle. I rode it to school a couple of times. Bryan had a motorcycle, too. We sold our bikes because we didn’t use them often. I stay healthy by running, playing tennis and spinning. I was a happy baby! My parents tell me that when I was 5 years old I decided that I wanted to teach elementary school!
