TEACHERS OF THE WEEK
Mrs. May Wu (1st Grade)

Celebrating a decade of teaching first grade at Roberts Elementary School this year, I continue on a journey that began in Beijing, China. After medical school graduation in my home country, I pursued a graduate study in biochemistry in the United States. However, this journey took a turn when my two children were born, becoming the driving force behind my passion for early childhood education. 

This passion led me to earn a Master of Education degree while working at MD Anderson Cancer Center. This transition marked a significant shift in my relationship with Roberts Elementary, transforming me from a parent to a devoted teacher.

I cherish Roberts Elementary's diversity and its International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, firmly believing in the power of diversity to enrich educational experiences and foster a strong sense of identity among students. In my classroom. I aim to cultivate curiosity and instill a love for learning, nurturing my students to become lifelong learners.

Beyond the confines of the classroom, I find joy in reading, attending classical music concerts as well as all kinds of stage performances, exploring art museums, and traveling with my family. I am particularly passionate about visiting national parks, considering them to be America's best idea. Currently, I am actively learning Spanish in hopes of engaging in genuine conversations during my future travels.

I would like to take this opportunity to express heartfelt gratitude to the Roberts community for their unwavering kindness and support throughout the years.

Ms. Olufunmilayo Adeyemi (5th Grade)

Hello Roberts family!

My name is Olufunmilayo Adeyemi; I was born and brought up in Nigeria. I earned my bachelor's degree from La UNAM in Mexico and my master's degree from Houston. Although I have worked in education for more than fifteen years, this is my first year at Roberts. It has been an absolute pleasure to become a member of the Roberts family, where the faculty, students, and their families have been extraordinarily hospitable and helpful. Every day, I feel encouraged by the diverse and dedicated staff and students here. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a warm and friendly environment. Outside of the classroom, my favorite things to do are read, spend time with my family, craft, and travel. Knowing new things and passing that information on to others are two of my greatest joys in life. Education is key to success, and I endeavor to nurture in each of my students a passion for learning that will stay with them for a lifetime
