Welcome to our 3rd Grade Classroom! My name is Adrienne Maksimov and I will be your child's 3rd Grade Reading & Writing teacher this year!  I am excited to join the amazing staff at Pecan Grove Elementary. Pecan Grove has been my home for 18 years and each of my own kiddos went to PGE.

This is my 7th year with Fort Bend ISD and 6th year teaching. I am looking forward to an amazing year with your kiddos. We will be a strong family of independent, critical thinkers who take risks and learn from each other with a growth mindset.  

A little background on me. I am from Puerto Rico! I speak and write in 3 languages (English, Spanish, and Serbian).  I am married (my husband also works in FBISD!) and have 3 wonderful children! All of my children are a product of Fort Bend ISD! We have a son-in-love, Ian, married to our oldest, Katarina. Katarina is a CICU Nurse at Texas Childrens Hospital and Ian works in cyber security. Isabella is continuing her college studies and is a JPE Panther as their CCC Aide. Our son Milan will be going into his senior year at Travis HS!

My teaching approach: Culturally responsive teaching connects students’ cultures, languages, and life experiences with what they learn in school. These connections help students access rigorous curriculum and develop higher-level academic skills. I can't wait to see all of the innovative learning this year! Welcome to 3rd Grade!
