Margarita Buenrostro

Teacher's Assistant

Mrs. Buenrostro has been working with children for 15 years.

Margarita is the ideal motherly role model!  I often strive to be like her!  She has three adult children, and is a proud grandmother!

Mrs. Buenrostro is happily married to Mr. Buenrosto whom I think is one of the luckiest men on earth!  Her cooking is to die for!  She often shares her delicious food with Mrs. Gallegos and I.

I have been teaching for 14 years for the Los Angeles Unified School District in the Early Education Division. 

I am happily married with three children.  My oldest daughter is 18 and is attending college, my son is 16 years old a sophmore in High School, and my youngest child is 10 years old a fourth grader. My husband has three children also a 23 year old, 22 year old and a 19 year old.  We are very busy hard working parents!!!!

It seems as though I have been attending school forever!!  I earned my AA from Pasadena City College.  I earned my Bachelors of Science Degree from The University of La Verne.  I am currently attaining my Masters of Education Degree from Cambridge College. I have also had the opportunity to attend different colleges to further my education, they include:  East Los Angeles College, Los Angeles City College, College of the Canyons and San Diego State University. I also earned a Credential in Adult Education through Los Angeles County Office of Education. 

A few things about me.... I love to LAUGH!  I enjoy being happy, I find that the children in my class love it also!  I love coffee, and more than that I love flowers!  Gardening used to be my passion, however as you can see, I am always busy so gardening is not a priority at the moment.

I truely enjoy spending time with my family.  We all get together at our house to celebrate different occasions.  I love to witness the relationship that the children of my family have with one another.  Singing, dancing, playing guitar, playing keyboard, listening to a variety of music from The Jonas Brothers and Mary J. Blige to Coldplay and Vicente Fernandez!  We all love our IPODS!

Enough about me, just come and visit me in my class, you are always welcomed!  Remember to bring your sense of humor!

I have only recently worked with Mrs. Gallegos, and I truely enjoy her.  She is very professional and is very well liked by the children, parents, and by her co-workers. 

From my observation she is the biggest fan of Mickey Mouse, and Betty Boop!  Her smile brightens our day!
