About The Teacher

I graduated from Boston College with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and an
extended concentration in Studio Art. I received a Masters of Science in Early
Childhood Education (PreK-3) and Special Needs from Wheelock College. I am
certified by the Massachusetts Department of Education in Early Childhood and
Special Needs and this will be my sixth year teaching Kindergarten at the
Runkle School. Prior to residing at Runkle School, I worked in various 
settings such as 
the Pierce School in Brookline, and school systems such as Newton, Needham, 
and 
Roxbury, MA. I have always been a lifetime learner and thrive on applying
new information, ideas, and skills into my teaching. I love teaching
kindergarten and facilitating student growth in all areas.

Mission For The Class

My goals for the children involve meeting their physical, social, and 
emotional needs within an environment, which encourages optimum 
intellectual and social development and fosters a passion for learning within
a caring and helpful community. To provide 10 key components that contribute 
to a 
successful kindergarten year; Routine, Responsibility, Socialization, 
Confidence, 
Expression, Discovery (Math), Problem Solving, Literacy, Motor Skills, 
Learning 
Through Play. It is my hope to establish a partnership with
parents to help accomplish these goals together. It is also my goal to
continue to acquire new knowledge, ideas, and resources to share with my
students and parents.
