About me

 
 
My name is Mrs. Molino.  I have been teaching Italian at P.S. 58 for 8 years. I studied Italian from 6th grade all the way through college and graduated with a minor in Italian.  I traveled to Italy many times and love spending my summers there.  Teaching Italian has always been my passion.  Learning a language boosts brain power, improves memory, enhances the ability to multi-task, sharpens the mind, keeps the mind sharper for longer, and enhances decision-making.
