About The Teacher Label:


About The Teacher
I was born in Glendale, Queens in the state of New York and was raised in Mineola on Long Island. Twenty three years ago I moved to Worcester, Massachusetts where I live with my husband, 2 college age children, and 2 dogs named Kirby and Chandler. One of my favorite hobbies is the improvisational art of SAORI weaving. I continue to study this Japanese weaving technique under the guidance of a wonderful SAORI teacher right here in Worcester. For the last fourteen years I have worked for the Worcester Public Schools. I have taught different grades but third grade is my absolute favorite! I hope my students learn as much from me as I do from them. I studied for a Masters Degree in Elementary Education at Clark University. I also have a Bachelors Degree in English from Binghamton University. My education and professional development has earned me rank of Masters Degree +30.

Mission
A classroom should be a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Teachers and students together must co-create this safe and nurturing environment through respect, cooperation, exploration, and discovery. Then learning can take place in a meaningful and fun way.
