All About Mrs. Martinez
A little bit about Mrs. Martinez
I am the teacher who provides GT services for all the students at Coyote Ridge, primary and intermediate, whether it be in the classroom for visits, or in GT classes.
Working with GT students is what I have done for the majority of my teaching career and I still love it after all these years. Prior to specifically working in this specialized area, I was a teacher of first and second graders.
I actually grew up in LISD, (Lakeland ES, DeLay MS, and Lewisville HS) and then went on to student teach at McAuliffe Elementary. I graduated from UNT with a specialty in reading and an endorsement in Gifted Education.
I love learning myself. My goal is to inspire children to become lifelong learners, to have an opinion, and to be able to generate and communicate their own creative ideas.
My family includes my husband of 26 years, my 21-year-old son, Jake, and our dog Trixie.
Soccer is my sport as I continue to play on a women's team. I love competing!
