My name is Madeline Pena and I am a 5th grade teacher at Woodstone Elementary. This is my first year as a teacher. I was born in San Antonio and lived here for 10 years before moving to Boerne, TX, where I lived for 11 years. During college, I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade. Growing up, I was a special education student with learning disabilities. Going through the learning obstacles I have faced in my life made me realize how important education is and how important it is to always remind a student that they are capable of being anything they want to be. I overcame those learning obstacles by challenging myself to attend The University of Texas at Austin where I gained my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. I am excited to start my journey educating beautiful minds at Woodstone Elementary.
