About The Teacher

I have been teaching for nineteen years.  I was a preschool teacher for 
four years, a special educator for two years, and I have taught first 
and second grade for the last eleven years, looping from first to second. For
the last three years I have solely taught second grade.

I have a dual certification in elementary education and special education 
from Rivier College and a Masters in Elementary Education from Fitchburg 
State. I have continued taking courses; and I have just finished 30 extra 
credits since I received my Masters.

I live in Tyngsboro, MA with my husband and my dog Roscoe.  My daughters 
have graduated from college and they are both employed at Fidelity 
Investments.  They live in the area and visit often. I love to read, hike, 
swim, travel, entertain, go to the movies, and be with my 
friends and family.

I am very excited to be teaching second grade. It's always 
exciting to meet new students.  When I was in grade school, my favorite year 
was second grade. I hope to make second grade your favorite year too!

Mission For The Class

My mission is to create life-long learners, thinkers, and problem-solvers.  
I want to understand each child emotionally and academically, and provide 
all that they need in order to grow and develop, at their own pace, both 
socially and academically.

My classroom atmosphere will be a place where each child feels safe, valued, 
and respected for who they are. I want each child to feel successful, yet 
challenged.  I want each child to like coming to school and learning, and I 
want parents to be a supportive part of their child's education at school 
and at home.
