Meet the Teacher
Mrs. Gonzalez
Hello and welcome to First Grade. My name is Elizabeth Gonzalez and I am very happy to be your child's teacher. This is my fourth year teaching and my third year at Benhaven. I have previously taught in New Mexico and Texas and have been an Educational Aide at a Department of Defense School in Germany and a public school in New Mexico. I have a bachelor's degree in History from the University of Maryland, University College and a Graduate Certificate in Elementary Education from the University of New Mexico. I have been married to my best friend and hero for the last 20 years and we have two fun loving girls. We are a proud military family and have had the opportunity to live in some wonderful places including Alaska, Italy, Germany, and Puerto Rico. I love to travel, spend time with my family and friends, read, and bake. On a long weekend you can catch us at the beach or enjoying a local fest or market.
If you have questions or concerns, I would be more than happy to help you any way I can. Please feel free to contact me through email or classdojo. I look forward to an amazing year full of growth and fun.
