About The Teachers

Mr.La Luz

This is my 1st year working at Pulaski as a teacher.  Previously, I worked at Pulaski as a Special Education Classroom Assistant for four years.  I'm very familiar with the school, staff, and many of the students.  I received my Bachelor's Degree in Applied Psychology and this past year I finished my Master's in Teaching where I taught 2nd grade with some of the kiddos who will be in my class this year!

I've really enjoyed my time working with the students since I started at Pulaski.  I've gotten to know and I was able to connect with many of them because low and behold the big names like Mario and Pokemon are still around today.   I will be using this knowledge this school year to engage and pique students interest in school.

Some of the things I enjoy doing outside of work are spending time with family and friends, traveling,board game nights, swimming, hiking, camping, and playing video games.  I also really enjoy playing with my dog Bowser who I named after one of my favorite video game villains growing up.  

I'm really excited for a great year with the kiddos  and wishing for a successful academic year for Room 200!

Mrs. Echezarreta

This is my 12th year working as a Special Education Classroom Teacher for CPS and my 6th year working at Pulaski.  I have worked with grades K-8th across all subject areas. Last year I co-taught in a 3rd grade classroom and I am so excited to be back in 3rd grade, especially working with Mr.La Luz!

I specialize in individualized learning, targeted interventions, multi-modal learning, and behavior interventions. 

When I am not in the classroom you can find me at the park with my one year old daughter and husband.   

I'm really excited for a great year with the kiddos  and wishing for a successful academic year for Room 200!
