Mar Vista Elementary School is located in Oxnard, California. Geographically, it is surrounded by strawberry fields. The population of our 3rd and 5th grade students are primarily immigrants from Mexico, whose families work in the strawberry fields. Michelle and Amada's classes are buddies and work collaboratively on numerous projects. They meet at least once a week for 30-60 minutes. Most of the students are fluent in both English and Spanish. They are hard working, intelligent, dedicated students.
