Hi there! 

My name is Ms. Pucci and I am thrilled to be part of the Mendenhall 2nd Grade team this school year!

It is a pleasure to say that I have been part of the educational world for the last 4 years! My journey as a teacher began in Illinois, where I was born and raised. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2020 (Go Redbirds!), where I then taught Second Grade for two years! Throughout my time as a teacher in Illinois, I learned how to implement 'Whole Brain' strategies, which allow students to maximize their learning through higher levels of engagement. When moving to Texas in 2022, I taught First Grade for one year, and had the opportunity to teach the same amazing group of students again in Second Grade! I am so excited to have the opportunity to work alongside passionate leaders and colleagues that are driven to enhance students' futures each day! 

I highly value parent communication and strongly encourage it throughout our year together! For any questions or concerns throughout our school year, please email me at gianna.pucci@pisd.edu. 

I am looking forward to an amazing school year together! 

Go Longhorns!
