About The Teacher
I received an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education from Dutchess Communtiy College and a Bachelor's in Elementary Education, K-6 from SUNY Oneonta. I have been teaching in Arlington since 1985. I received my Master's in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education in 1990. I began teaching Kindergarten at LaGrange Elementary and then taught first grade, a first/second combo and second grade. This September (2011) I will be starting my 26th year in Arlington! It will be my 8th year at Vail Farm Elementary. I have two children, Michelle and Anthony. We also have two golden retrievers, Sandy and Sugar, a mixed fox and keyhound named Sheba and two cats named Sydney and Selena, ALL GIRLS! We have one goldfish named Shamoo and Anthony insists that it is a boy goldfish! I love Arlington so much I move into the district when my children were ready to start school. Michelle is now a freshman at Siena College in Albany and Anthony is a football playing Sophomore at the High School. Living out here I bump into former students all the time and what's really cool is that many of them are married with new little ones of their own! It won't be long before I start having some of them in my classroom! Pretty amazing, huh? They tell you time flies and it certainly does, but I still love teaching and the kids as much as I did when I first started! I enjoy cooking, walking, bike riding, swimming, spending time with my family, visiting book stores and libraries and READING BOOKS, especially mysteries.
