Hi! My name is Jeni Estacio and I am thrilled to be teaching 2nd and 3rd grade this year at OLG!  I have been a part of the OLG community for 17 years since both of my children were students here. My daughter Elena is now 22 and is a medical assistant at a women's clinic in South San Jose and my son Brandon, 19, is a chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco. I loved the small community and how we really were all like family. Now I feel blessed to be a part of your child's journey here at OLG. 

In our classroom, we individualize the instruction to meet the needs of the students and provide a flexible and supportive learning environment that will keep the kids challenged and allow them to be successful. This is a big year for some of our second graders who will experience their first reconciliation and first communion. In both 2nd and 3rd grade, language, reading and writing skills begin to develop even further. Second graders will begin to add and subtract two and three digit numbers; third graders will begin to learn the mysteries of multiplication. We'll also talk about the planets, American heroes, and learn mapping skills. It's an amazing year full of growth, hard work, and most of all, fun!

Our school theme this year is Learning in Knowledge, Living in Wisdom, Loving in Faith. This aligns so well to our four Dominican Pillars:Prayer, Study, Community, and Ministry. I'm so excited to be on this journey with you and your children!
