Hello, my name is Jacquelyn Velasquez and this is my fifth year at Sienna Crossing and my 11th year of teaching. I graduated from the University of Houston-Downtown with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in 2012.  From there, I started my teaching career and I taught second for two years and kindergarten for one year. I also taught kindergarten at Quail Valley Elementary for three years. This is an exciting year for me as I will have all of my own children with me at SCE! I have twin boys entering fifth grade and my daughter will be a kindergator!

I can honestly say my love for education truly awakened when I entered the kindergarten classroom. I love working with this age group and seeing how excited they are to learn. I enjoy having fun with the kids and researching ways to make learning engaging and relatable for my students. I truly treasure the time I have with my students and watching them grow throughout the year. 

When I am not at school, I love spending time with my kids and my husband. We love going to the zoo and hanging out at the beach!
