Adrian Ruiz Jr.Greetings families!
I am so excited to be your child's English teacher this school year! A little about my time here at ASU Prep. This is my eighth school year at ASU Prep. In my time here I have served our community of learners as a member of our before/after school support staff, an Elementary Instructional Aide, a T.O.S.A. (Teacher on Special Assignment), a 5th Grade English and Social Studies Teacher, a 1st Grade teacher, a 3rd Grade teacher, and currently teach 6th Grade English Language Arts. I have also had the pleasure of working with some of you in Comic Book Club during the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 school year. I was born and raised in South Phoenix, Arizona where I graduated from South Mountain High School in May of 2008. I then pursued my Associate in Arts Degree from South Mountain Community College and graduated in May of 2011. From there I pursued a degree in Religious Studies from ASU and then transferred to NAU where I pursued a degree in Elementary Education. In December of 2015 I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood Education. After I immediantly pursued an advanced degree from NAU and graduated in December of 2018 with my Master of Education Degree with an emphasis and endorsement in K-8 Reading Instruction and Intervention. In my free time I enjoy reading and collecting comic books, going to the movies, sleeping, attending professional wrestling shows, and music concerts, and of course hanging out with my family and friends, especially my dog ZEUS. I am also a big fan of staying home and watching t.v. all day. I look forward to an amazing school year with you and yours! -Adrian Ruiz Jr. |
