Energy and excitement abound in the classroom of Felipe Pasmanick, September’s Teacher of the Month. Motivating his students through music and his love for the Spanish language, Mr. Pasmanick exudes positivity throughout his classroom. Felipe is a 3rd grade Spanish teacher at Buena Vista School in San Francisco. Read what some people have said about him:

“Felipe has taught the children to conjugate verbs through songs that he has written and put to music in Spanish. I often hear my son and his friends creating and re-creating their own songs when they are conjugating verbs. I wish I was taught grammar this way when I was a kid!”
– Sarah Soman, parent

“I like Felipe for a teacher because he is a happy and positive teacher. I feel like I am ready for fourth grade and that I will do a good job after having Felipe for a teacher.”
– Nico Napoli
