2nd Grade

Hola! I’m a 1st-grade Dual Language Teacher and a Caribbean girl born and raised in Paradise “Puerto Rico”. I’ve been teaching since 2005. I have over 19 years teaching elementary school, over 9 of them here in Texas. I love the feeling of accomplishment in seeing students grow in knowledge, confidence, and skills. I have two beautiful girls who are my masterpieces. I like dancing, exercising, outdoor activities, and spending time with family and friends in my spare time. I am so grateful to be part of our Memorial family.

Hola!

My name is Francisco Rangel, and I am starting another year with Memorial Elementary and Plano ISD, over 7 years. I have been teaching for over16 years, mostly with Plano ISD and Dallas ISD. I have mostly taught 2nd and 4th grade. I believe that every child deserves an opportunity to learn in school. My goal is to help your child to reach their fullest potential and become a good citizen of our community. My biggest motivation to continue to teach children is my family. My wife and my three daughters are the inspiration that drive my passion for teaching children. One another thing that I believe is respect. I have taught my daughters that wherever they go and stand is to respect yourself and others. I am in this career field to make a difference in a child's life.

Welcome to 2nd grade! My name is Charles Terry Jr., aka Mr. Charles and I’m excited to be part of the Memorial Elementary family. I havr many years of experience within education and a deep passion for helping students grow both academically and emotionally. In our classroom, we focus on learning through curiosity, kindness, and teamwork because every student deserves to feel valued and confident. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy running, cooking, and spending time with my family, my dog, Neva and our class Guinea Pig “Daisy”. I can’t wait to make this school year an unforgettable race to success!

I graduated from Texas Tech in 2020. I am an older sister and a big family person! I love to travel and create meaningful relationships with my students and colleagues.
