About The Teacher
I have been teaching for 25 years. I was a preschool teacher for four years, a special educator for two years, and I have taught first and second grade for the last twelve years, looping from first to second. For the last eight years I have solely taught second grade. I have a dual certification in elementary education and special education from Rivier College and a Masters in Elementary Education from Fitchburg State. I have continued taking courses; and I have just finished 36 extra credits since I received my Masters. I live in Tyngsboro, MA with my husband and my dog Roscoe. My daughters have graduated from college and they are both employed at Fidelity Investments. They live in the area and visit often. I love to read, hike, swim, travel, entertain, go to the movies, and be with my friends and family. I am very excited to be teaching second grade. It's always exciting to meet new students. When I was in grade school, my favorite year was second grade. I hope to make second grade your favorite year too!

Mission Label:


Mission
My mission is to create life-long learners, thinkers, and problem-solvers. I want to understand each child emotionally and academically, and provide all that they need in order to grow and develop, at their own pace, both socially and academically. My classroom atmosphere will be a place where each child feels safe, valued, and respected for who they are. I want each child to feel successful, yet challenged. I want each child to like coming to school and learning, and I want parents to be a supportive part of their child's education at school and at home.
