Dear Parents,
Welcome to a new school year! I am looking forward to an exciting and challenging year of purposeful learning with your child. My main goal is to create a positive classroom environment where the children feel safe and encouraged in their quest for knowledge.
Teaching is my passion. I graduated with my teaching credential from CSUSM. This will be my 16th year teaching at Carrillo and my 17th year in the San Marcos Unified School District. I have taught first grade, second grade, and this will be my 5th year teaching third grade! I have an 8 year old son (Micah) and a 10 year old daughter (Malia), who are both here at Carrillo!
My mission as your child’s teacher is to instill a lifelong love for learning. Each day, in every lesson, I strive to meet the individual needs and learning styles of every student. I have high expectations for all students and will encourage them to reach their highest potential in third grade. Risk-taking is rewarded and challenges are a part of our daily learning.
I am looking forward to an amazing year together!
--Mrs. Martinez
