I've been teaching at LES for 17 years. I taught first grade
and second grade before I came to fifth grade. This is my 16th year teaching
fifth grade.
I'm married and have two daughters ages 27 and 33. My oldest daughter,
Chesney Jane, is married. My youngest daughter, Courtney
Page, lives in Denver, Colorado while working and going to college. I am the
proud Grandmother of Caden Thomas Caswell. He was born on October 12, 2009.
I like to do crafts, especially knitting and stained glass. I also like to
work in the garden. I plant perennials and each year I add one or two
more. This year I added three beautiful plants of lavender. I have to
admit that I spend a lot of time PULLING WEEDS!
My daughter, Chesney, and I often ride our bikes on the Harlem Valley Rail
Trail. Mr. Caswell has a bike, too. He rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
This summer I had the opportunity to see Paul McCartney live at Citi Field. I
went with Mrs. Ramsden and Mrs. Robles. It was awesome! Paul dedicated
songs to his first wife Linda, George Harrison, and John. For the song "Live
and Let Die" (Paul wrote this for the James Bond 007 movie) there were
fireworks and pyroworks that blew the crowds away with excitement. I bought a
t-shirt to help me remember this special occasion--- although I'm sure it's
one I'll never forget.
To make the classroom a community with respect, responsibility and
readiness.To strive for a "learner-centered" classroom where students can
take
the initiative to think for themselves and assume responsibility for their
own learning and behavior.
