Hello! I am Alexandra Godoy, and I am proud to be a part of Coe’s learning community and incredible first-grade team. I love first graders’ sense of humor, curiosity, and inspiring wonder. In first grade, we learn to decode the English language, allowing us to unlock the joy of reading! Books can be passageways to unknown worlds and help us reveal what we know and love. It is an honor to witness their joyful “aha moments” throughout this early journey into literacy.
I was born in El Salvador, grew up in California, and have lived in beautiful Seattle for ten years, teaching for three. Aside from teaching, I enjoy kayaking, picnicking, hiking, and exploring delicious restaurants with my husband. As a Salvadoran, speaking and reading Spanish has helped me stay connected to all that was left behind. Similarly, our collective history, music, and familial stories have kept me anchored throughout my life. My bilingual experience has been a rich resource in my learning. I strive to engage students with their rich resources to help them develop their creative potential as storytellers and innovators in their communities.
My name is Haley Mullen (she/her) and I teach Social Studies. This is my 7th year teaching and my first at Lincoln! I grew up moving around as a military kid, but ultimately have strong ties to Washington and ended up here multiple times. I received my B.A. in History from the University of Washington and my M.A. in Education from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
When I’m not teaching, I’m learning how to cook new recipes, playing with my two cats, escaping from escape rooms, and traveling. Excited to be a part of the Lynx community this year!
