Greetings!
My name is Mary VanderWal. I've been an elementary teacher for 19 years. I
graduated from Nazareth College majoring in Elementary Education, Reading,
and Fine Arts.
I've completed my graduate work and have a Masters of Administration in which
I created an Action Research Project on Brain Compatable Learning. I
love to teach children according to their individual learning needs.
My classroom consists of a TEAM. We spend a lot of time getting to know one
another and learning how to effectively communicate. Truth, trust and respect
of one's self and others is key to our success as a team.
I attempt to work with each child's individual needs. Because of this, I NEED
and LOVE to have parent volunteers in the classroom. I hope you can come in to
experience what our Third Grade Team is like!
The Team's mission is to create a nurturing, fun, learning environment!
