Welcome to First Grade!
Welcome to Mrs. Ortega's First Grade classroom! This is a space where your child will learn, grow, and have fun. I encourage parent involvement, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Our
Story
Hello, and welcome! My name is Tabitha Ortega, and I am excited to be your child's teacher this year. I have lived in Manatee County for the past 12 years, but I originally hail from New York City. I am proud to call Florida home now, where I live with my wonderful husband Emanuel, and our three amazing kids, Mischa, Alexander and Gabriel. I am looking forward to working together to make this a successful and memorable school year for your child!
