I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about me and my background.  I was born and raised in Venezuela and have lived in the United States for almost eleven years.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Literature and a Master’s degree in Reading & Writing.  My work experience includes time spent in Elementary, High School, and College.  I also spent time studying and working in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This is going to be my seventh year in Granite school District and my first year at William Penn Elementary. Previously, I was a Third Grade Dual Immersion teacher for six years at Vista Elementary. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and knowing more about your child.
 
I have a passion for teaching because I believe each student has a different and unique potential.  I enjoy the process of teaching and watching my students learn and grow in front of me.  And I love coming up with creative ideas to help learning be a fun adventure rather than something boring and dreaded.  My goal for each student when they move on from my class at the end of the year is for them to not only have learned many new things but to have walked away enjoying their time and later reflect on this as a happy and positive experience.
I am happy to be a part of the William Penn family this year.  I believe in communication as a key to support everyone, so please feel free to contact me about any concerns you have during the school year because I’m more than happy to help.
Thank you,
Mr. Diaz

As an Air Force "brat", I grew up all over the world. Some of the interesting places I lived were Germany, Texas, Hawaii, and Alaska. My parents retired in Utah, where I graduated from Westminster College, got married, and got my first teaching job all in the same summer! I have been teaching for 27 years, all in 4th and 5th grade. They are my favorite. I have been at William Penn for 20 of those years. It is a wonderful school. Both of my children attended the William Penn Dual Immersion Program. My oldest son is now in the Musical Theatre Program at the University of Utah, and my youngest son is attending Utah Valley University and is a new firefighter in Spanish Fork. My family enjoys outdoor concerts and camping with our dogs in the summer and skiing in the winter.
