Macapobre Takes On Third Grade At Southside School

Kristel Macapobre is from the City of Bacolod in the Philippines. If that rings a bell, it’s probably because she shares a common path to Wolf Point with the Tumonong family, members of which are also teaching in Wolf Point schools.

Macapobre has considerable teaching experience under her belt. She taught for five years in the Philippines, where she taught fifth and second grades. She taught for one year in Anton, Colo., where she also taught fifth grade.

She said teaching third grade has presented special challenges, but she enjoys the grade level.

“It’s easier to discipline them,” said Macapobre.

Her hobbies include dancing, Zumba, singing and writing poetry.
