Hello, I'm Ms. Mancia!

I’m a Springfield native, but my family is from El Salvador. I'm fluent in Spanish and English, and I enjoy learning other languages. I have been a Spanish teacher, and now I'm an ELL teacher. Being a first-generation Salvadoran-American, I was an ELL student for three years. I understand the unique position ELL students are in, as well as the cultural enrichment they bring to our schools and community. I'm here to help ELL learners be successful English learners, while also appreciating their native culture.

I’m so excited about working with you at the Sixth Grade Center this year!
