Melanie Ruiz

5th Grade ELA & Dual Language

Hello!

My name is Ms. Melanie Ruiz. I earned my B.S. in Elementary Education from DePaul University, M.S. in Teaching and Learning from the University of St. Francis and have my Bilingual and ESL endorsements from Northeastern Illinois University and American College of Education. I was born and raised in the city, and this is my 16th year teaching in Chicago Public Schools. I have had the pleasure to teach for 15 years on the Southwest side of Chicago in grades 1st-5th.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading books, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and my dog, Charlotte.

This year I will be teaching fifth grade Dual Language and English Language Arts. I look forward to helping students find the joy in reading a variety of books and also for all of the learning, fun, and experiences we will have together. I am excited to #BEBATEMAN and work together with parents, students, and staff as a part of this new school community!


¡Hola!

Mi nombre es Ms. Melanie Ruiz. Tengo mi licenciatura en Educación Primaria de la Universidad DePaul, mi Maestría en Enseñanza y Aprendizaje de la Universidad de St. Francis y tengo mi respaldo bilingüe y de ESL de la Universidad Northeastern y el Colegio Americano de Educación. Nací y crecí en la ciudad, y este es mi decimosexto año enseñando en las Escuelas Públicas de Chicago. He tenido el placer de enseñar durante 15 años en el lado suroeste de Chicago en los grados 1 a 5.

Fuera de la escuela, disfruto leer libros, viajar y pasar tiempo con amigos, familiares y mi perra, Charlotte.

Este año estaré enseñando Lenguaje Dual y Artes del Lenguaje Inglés de quinto grado. Espero poder ayudar a los estudiantes a encontrar el placer de leer una variedad de libros y también por todo el aprendizaje, la diversión y las experiencias que tendremos juntos. ¡Estoy emocionado de ser parte de la escuela Bateman y trabajar junto con los padres, los estudiantes y maestros como parte de esta nueva comunidad escolar!
