I’m Mrs. Diaz-Wu!

I am thrilled that you will be in my class this year! Together, we are going to delve into the worlds of literature and cognition, and I can’t wait to get started! I began teaching at FBISD in 2002 and joined the GT Academy in 2015, so you can probably infer that I love what I do. 😊

Middle school is an important and unique time in life. An abundance of compassion and understanding are reciprocally needed from teachers and students. In essence, it’s important to work as a team. I recognize that each of you is unique, with your own ways of thinking and learning. My role as your teacher is to support your growth as both learners and individuals of strong character.

In addition to teaching superstars, I am a mom of three, a wife of almost twenty years, a sibling, a daughter, an avid sci-fi reader, a runner, and a coffee aficionada. When I’m not grading papers, lesson planning, or co-sponsoring NJHS, you'll likely find me jogging around my neighborhood, picking up my daily cup of Starbucks, or shopping at Target.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things:

COLOR: iridescent pinks, purples, & teal     

SEASON: fall and winter

SNACKS: dark chocolate, tree nuts, and fruit

QUOTE: “Feet? Why do I need them if I have wings to fly?” - Frida Kahlo

FAVORITE PLACE TRAVELED (so far): Banff, Canada

One more thing you should know is that I plan for this year to be great! With hard work and determination, each of you has the potential to become whatever you aspire to be. I truly hope to bring that out in all my students.
