My daughter and I this summer by the ocean in Lima-Peru.

My name is Elena QuiñonesHanson and this is my second year at Washburn. I am very happy to return and I am looking forward on having another wonderful year. This school year I'll be teaching 4 classes. Two of these classes would be Math Strategies and two Readiness for College classes.

A little about me: I have been teaching for the last 29 years (25 in Minneapolis) and last July I went to Lima, Peru to celebrate my 30th aniversary from graduating from college. I am originally from Lima and I am bilingual (Spanish-English). My extended family lives in Lima and I am able to enjoy my parents every time I go and visit (which I try to do at least once a year). I have two children, my son who is 20 and is in college and my daughter who is soon turning 18 and is starting college this fall. 

I am looking forward to meeting and working with all my students. If you need to contact me you may email me at elena.quinoneshanson@mpls.k12.mn.us
