About the teacher

    I am a native of Connecticut but have lived in Virginia Beach for 9 years 
with my husband Alan and three children, Danielle (19), Jack (17),and Sam
(11). We have 1 cat named Willow (13) and 2 black labs named Tracey (7) and 
Molly(7). 
    My favorite things to do in my spare time are gardening, reading, 
watching a good movie, and enjoying the outdoors. My favorite foods are 
pizza, Starbucks coffee, and homemade cookies/desserts.
    I have also lived in South Carolina, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and 
California. I like to spend my summer vacations visiting family in CT and 
RI. I have previously taught special education (grades K-5) and preschool 
children ages 2-5. I received a B.S. degree in Special Education from the 
College of Charleston, SC and a Master's degree in Early Childhood Special 
Education from Old Dominion University.
  

Mission For The Class

     Our goal for this year is to help the children learn new skills and 
build on existing skills through fun and interesting activities throughout 
the day, so the children can generalize these skills into other settings. We 
also strive to help our students become more independent with daily living 
skills(taking care of personal belongings,toileting,and hygene),communication 
skills,and general school related work habits.     
     Our class will use many activities such as music, pretend play, 
exploring books, art, sensory play (sand, water, play dough, etc.), outdoor 
play, and language arts to extend their communication, motor, and cognitive 
skills.

The best thing we can do for our children is to READ to them every day!

You can reach me at school by leaving a message on my voicemail and I will 
get back to you as soon as possible. Use extension #55701.
