Hello everyone,
My name is Angelica Perez from Cooper City High School. I have taught reading over ten years. This is my first year in high school and I love it so far. Even though I teach reading, I have an interest in technology. (married to a graphic/web developer with children who have picked up traits from their daddy) We have all kinds of gadgets at home from drones to rc cars. Very excited to be part of this learning experience.
