Hello!

I look forward to working with you and your child this year! 

My name is Erica Martinez and I was born, raised and live here in Carteret. Before teaching, I went to culinary school and worked in restaurants and catering for a few years. I then decided to move back home and began substitute teaching here in Carteret. I found that I loved it so much that I decided to go back to school to become a teacher. While going to school, I was a paraprofessional in a kindergarten classroom at New Brunswick Public Schools for six years, before I began my teaching career. 

This is my 6th year teaching and my fourth year teaching at Carteret Public Schools. I started as a Reading Interventionist teacher at Carteret Middle School for two years and then taught as an In-Class Support Teacher for one year. Last year, I was MD teacher at Private Nicholas Minue School, for grades 1 through 3. 

This year, I will be returning to the Middle School, teaching the 3rd and 4th grade MD students. We will be focusing on academics (reading, math, science and social studies) as well as social and life skills.

Please feel free to reach out through my email: emartinez@carteretschools.org or through our ClassDojo.

ClassDojo will be used frequently to provide you with updates about our program and your child.
