About The Teacher
Mrs. Cristine Blake has always known that she wanted to be a teacher. As a teenager and young adult she worked as a nanny for newborn triplet girls, a five year old girl, and an eight year old boy. She worked for that family for six years while going to college to be a teacher. Mrs. Blake received an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Development and a Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education Pre-K-6. During that time she worked in a nursery school, pre-first, and fifth grade classrooms. After being hired as a long-term substitute teacher for a year (oddly enough in third grade), Mrs. Epstein offered her a permanent job at Fishkill Plains. She was VERY excited to say the least! She has been teaching third grade since 1998. During that time she received a Masters Degree in Special Education in order to help her better understand the learning styles of all students. In her spare time, Mrs. Blake enjoys the outdoors (especially the beach), reading fiction novels, and going to the gym to relax. Mrs. Blake is married to a wonderful man named Robert. They celebrated their second wedding anniversary on August 5th. Mr. and Mrs. Blake have three cats named JC, Myles and Maddie. They are very cute and playful! Third Grade is a wonderful age to teach, both challenging and rewarding. The children learn a lot this year that will be carried with them through their school career. Mrs. Blake is looking forward to an exciting year with your children! See you in September! Please feel free to send Mrs. Blake an e-mail at cristine.blake@wappingersschools.org Thank you!
