third grade

J. Brian Roswell

I entered the education field after eight years of corporate business. Graduated from Texas A&M University with a Marketing Degree. I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Education from the University of St. Thomas.

My passion to teach every child to "Think and Reason" is my ultimate goal. Throughout the course of this year, I plan to take each student one step closer to their potential.

My current teaching position is third grade. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I am responsible for nurturing young, bright and eager minds. This has always been my teaching philosophy...."Give the students what he/ she needs and watch them grow!" I grew up in a household of educators, who instilled in me, knowledge is power...pass it on!

I am a certified Elementary Bilingual Teacher, holding a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Physics, and have studies toward a Master Degree in System Information. I worked in my home country – Argentina - as a System Manager before coming to Houston. I love being a teacher. I really enjoy teaching young people in their mother language and I am committed to making a difference in their lives.

Alvin Edwards

I am a member of the third grade team at Valley West Elementary. I’ve taught 3^rd and 4^th grade in HISD. I’m from Ville Platte, Louisiana. Missouri City, Texas has been my home for the last 6 ½ years. I’m a graduate of Grambling State University. I come from a family of educators. My inspiration comes from my late mother who was a third grade and kindergarten teacher.

I’ve been around children all of my life and I love working with children and nurturing them. I have high expectations from each student. Education is a must in today’s society. Students need to know that becoming professional athletes and entertainers is not the only way to be successful. I am also a role model to the future young men of this community. We must work together to have a great year. Please explain to your children that they are representing you everyday and they should behave accordingly. Students should come to school expecting to learn something new everyday. I look forward to working with you and your child this year.
