Welcome to Room 307! I’m Mrs. Greenberg, a proud graduate of UC Berkeley and a teacher since 1990. I live in Temecula with my husband and our two daughters. My teaching encompasses Pre-Algebra and Life Sciences, where I engage students with hands-on activities and practical applications. In math, we work on topics like algebraic expressions, equations, and graphing. In life sciences, we explore the scientific process, cell biology, and much more. I'm here to support your child’s learning journey!
