Mrs. Gidwani: I graduated from George Mason University (VA) in 1993
with a degree in Accounting. I worked as a Financial Auditor for Price
Waterhouse in D.C. for 2 years. In 1995, I returned to GMU to work on a
Masters degree in Education. I went on to teach Kg. & 2nd Grade within the
Fairfax County Public Schools System. In 1998, I moved to CT & taught 2nd
grade for 5 years at Tashua E.S. In 2003, I moved to fabulous Frenchtown to
teach Math to primary students.
Mrs. Baxter: I graduated from Abilene Christian University (Texas) in 1986
with a degree in Elementary Education, specializing in kg. and math. I
taught first and second grade in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and the Houston
area for several years before becoming a full-time mom. Now that our
children are older, I have returned to the classroom and have the great
pleasure of working with the students and teachers at Frenchtown
Elementary as one of the Math Resource Teachers.
Mrs. Knapp joins us from Norwalk where she served as a Teaching Coach for 10
yrs. She will support math instruction in grades K and 1.
We believe all children can succeed in the area of mathematics. We hope to
instill a LOVE of mathematics in all students at Frenchtown. We will
encourage students to explore, wonder, question and always ask "why". We
will also support teachers with necessary math manipulatives, resources and
technology to ensure math instruction meets the diverse needs of ALL
students.
