Arielle joined our faculty in August 2015 to teach early kindergarten and kindergarten in the mornings and to co-teach kindergarten through 2nd grade in the afternoons. In 2021 onward she is teaching major parts of grades 1 & 2 and math for a number of grade levels. Her experience with Montessori teaching that she did before moving to Las Cruces shows brightly in her classroom. Added to her expertise is that of a background in science, in wildlife biology.
