Hello everyone, my name is Ms. Escobar I was born and raised in Grapevine, Texas. I am a 5th grade teacher, this is my first "official" year teaching here at D. McRae Elementary. I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University in May 2024 with my Bachelors of Arts Degree in EC-6 Bilingual. I was a resident (student teacher) here at D. McRae this last school year of 23-24. I was a full year in 3rd grade, and I love this school and the people around me! My favorite part of being a teacher is to be able to see my students grow, and building a relationship with them. 

I have one son who is 3 years-old and we love to read books and see movies!!
