Ms. Romero was born in Puerto Rico. She has been teaching for around 22 years, 10 of those in Waterloo, Iowa, and this is her 3rd year here at Benteen. She loves to go to the ocean to swim. When you are born on an island like her, learning to swim when you were a kid was like learning to walk. Kids would make fun of you if you didn't know how to! Her favorite book is Don Quijote, and she likes to do puzzles and collect pencils and bookmarks.
