My name is Dolly Villarreal, and I was born and raised here in Brownsville, Texas. I student taught in 2nd grade and Pre-Kinder back in 2009 and never imagined myself being somewhere other than Primary Land. I started here at Benavides in August 2010. I fell in love with my kiddos, the content, and my teaching team. I was placed in Kinder and taught Kinder for 6 years. I was moved to 2nd grade August 2016. It has been a great move. I have enjoyed teaching second grade. Our school is the most lovely place. Teaching is definitely a challenge but an amazing experience every single day. I learn so much every day as much as I teach.
