First Grade

Welcome to the First Grade Home Page!

Ms. Nicole Martinez is excited and looks forward to meeting the awesome first graders. She knew she wanted to be a teacher since she was a kid. Her grandma inspired her to pursue teaching, watching her make lesson plans, checking test papers, and doing instructional materials every night. Education has always been a part of her family, and now it compliments her life tremendously.

She attended one of the prestigious universities in the Philippines, Centro Escolar University, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, majoring in Special Education. She always has a heart for children with special needs and helps them learn how special they are in God’s eyes. She recently graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Master’s Degree in Urban Education.

Attending Catholic school growing up means so much to her to help children grow in their faith and develop as members of a faith community. She has a true passion for working with young learners and recognizes the potential in every child. Helping each child progress in all areas of their development is a challenge that she is honored to accept daily. She strives to make a class environment where students are encouraged daily to love each other and God through acts of kindness, empathy, and respect.

Finally, being part of such an incredible faculty team at St Anthony is a blessing. It is hard to find a school that values the importance of faith as much as St. Anthony does.
