Hello! Welcome to our web page. My name is Mrs. Rita Whalen and I am
very excited to be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year.
I am a graduate of Holy Family University where I received a Bachelor's
Degree in Elementary Education. I am currently working
towards a Master's Degree in both Elementary and Special Education at Holy
Family as well. This year will be my ninth year teaching. I have taught in
both the public and private school settings.
For fun I love to spend time with my family and friends. I especially
love reading and spending free time at the shore. My husband and I have a 16
month old daughter named Francesca who keeps us very busy :)
I am looking forward to a very fun and exciting school year!!
My mission for this year is...
-to make your child's learning experiences fun and exciting
-to help each child meet his or her full potential through differentiated
instruction
-to help each child build strong values and a strong faith
-to build a strong foundation for first grade
