Adrienne+Jaramillo

My name is Adrienne Jaramillo, and I currently teach 6th grade at Gil Sanchez Elementary in Jarales, NM. I have taught at Gil Sanchez for the last 15 years of my teaching career. I spent my first two years at Dennis Chavez, so I have a total of 17 years of experience teaching 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. Most of my years have been spent teaching 5th graders. The last few years I have had the opportunity to teach 5th grade and loop up to 6th with the same group of students. This has been a very rewarding experience, as I am able to see some real growth in my students in their academics as well as in their personal lives. I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in 1991. I have a K-8 license. I do not currently hold any special licenses or certifications. However, I do have a passion for teaching math. This has increasingly become an area of strong interest for me in the last few years. This is an area where I would really like to focus my studies. I would like to know more about how students learn math successfully and how I can be a part of that process.
