About Your Teacher!
Talofa! My name is Akenese Atonio and I was born and raised on the beautiful island of American Samoa. I received my Bachelor Degree in English at Hawaii Pacific University and my Masters in Teaching with a concentration on Special Education at Austin Peay State University. While I did not plan to someday become a teacher, the profession chose me as I became a mother to my wonderful and loving daughters, Talya and Tiare. As a parent, I realized how much educators impact the academic and developmental growth of our children. It has been my passion since to serve as an educator that believes in every single child. Thus, I truly feel that everyone, despite their learning differences, have the capability to learn. During my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, traveling, and most importantly, spending quality time with family and friends. I look forward to a year full of excitement and engagement as students build upon their strengths and grow as reflective learners in my class! |
