About Mrs. Mazzuco

I was born and raised in San Jose.  I attended Seattle University and earned a BA in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Journalism.  I also received a minor in Economics.  I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential at San Jose State University.  I taught Kindergarten for the first 15 years of my teaching career.  Five of those years have been at Laurelwood.  This is my fourth year teaching 4th grade and I could not be happier!

 

I am extremely passionate about teaching children and am ready to challenge myself in new ways that keeps that passion energized.  I love the 4th grade curriculum and cannot wait to share that love with my students.  

 

I believe in showing students respect and compassion.  I have a high level of expectation for my students and believe in their potential.  I am a firm believer in growth mindset and helping children overcome challenges (learning is a process, not an outcome). 

 

My husband and I live in Blossom Valley.  I have a daughter in 8th grade and a son in 5th grade.  Our family enjoys boating, golf, watching movies, swimming and a variety of sports.  My daughter loves to dance.  My son plays baseball and golf. 

 

I'm a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and hoping to earn my black belt in Krav Maga at the beginning of 2023. 

 

I love spending time with my family.  I also love spending time with your children and helping them become amazing young people!
