Ms. Yvonne Castillo

Hello and welcome to FIRST GRADE! My name is Yvonne Castillo and I am on my 23rd year of education and this will be my 18th year with FBISD at Palmer Elementary!  I am so excited to start another year at Palmer Elementary. It will be an exciting and challenging year with new learning and new experiences.  We will get through it together with lots of fun and show lots of progress.

I am a graduate of the,University of Texas – Pan American, and am a native of the Rio Grande Valley. When I'm not teaching I enjoy traveling back to the Rio Grande Valley to visit my family.  I also travel to visit my daughter Megan and her husband in Virginia because I am now a Grandma!  My granddaughter is now 2 and is growing up so quickly!  I also enjoy cooking, baking, going to the movies and relaxing at home.

I am firm, but nurturing, and believe that learning should be engaging, challenging, and FUN.  This year reading, writing, and social studies will be fun filled with learning through technology, hands on activities, and of course, practice! I look forward to all the progress my students will be making!

Here's to a great year!
