Our Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Mrs. Gloria Martinez
Hello, my name is Mrs. Gloria Martinez. I am originally from Eagle Pass, Texas ( yes, where the casino is located!). I have 2 grown daughters and 2 dogs. I have been teaching kindergarten for 24 years. In the past, I also taught at the 1st and 3rd grade level. I graduated from Sul Ross University with a B.A. in Education. My favorite thing about teaching young children is seeing that spark in their eyes when they “got it!” My favorite children’s book is Dr. Suess’ “Green Eggs and Ham”. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. We watch the parade on TV, eat turkey and watch the Dallas Cowboys. At Christmas time the family also enjoys celebrating the holiday with tamales. We also open Christmas presents in the morning and then take our annual trip to Disneyland. I speak English and Spanish fluently. In my personal time I enjoy reading, gardening and spending time with my daughters.
Mrs. Andrea Rangel
Hello, my name is Ms. Andrea Rangel. I have been teaching for 5 years. 3 of those years were in South Korea, where I taught English to children in Kindergarten up to 5th grade. While there, I met my husband. We have been married for 2 years.
In my free time I love visiting new coffee shops around the city, spending time with my family and playing games on my Nintendo Switch. A fun fact about me is that I grew up playing the drums! I can also speak about 40% Korean due to my time teaching in Korea.
