Welcome aboard to Kindergarten! I am Miss Gonzalez and this is my second year teaching at Masters Elementary. I was born in El Paso, Texas and have lived in Germany and Maryland, since my father was in the military. I am really delighted to make San Antonio my home. I attended Incarnate Word College for one year; then I transferred to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), where I completed my Bachelor's Degree of Science in Biology and Master's Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. I taught high school Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science at La Vernia ISD for a year but decided to embark on elementary education. Thus, for three years, I was a substitute teacher only on the elementary campuses in grades pre-K to 2nd grade at Judson ISD and East Central ISD. I am very excited to be teaching at a great school where the students are wonderful and loving; and the staff is welcoming and willing to provide me with any support. I want to work with my students to become trustworthy, respectful, independent, goal - oriented with fortitude in my classroom and beyond.
