About The Teacher

     My orignal degree was a B.A. in Art from College Misericordia.   I 
taught Art for nine years in Wyoming Area and  I enjoyed sharing my love of 
the Fine Arts with  students from  kindergarten to eight grade.  During this 
time I worked on a Masters in  Fine Arts from Scranton U. and Marywood 
University. I also studied Art History in Europe.  
     For six years,I was home with my two daughters, and taught Art 
Appreciation part time at College Misericordia.
     In 1992 I received an Elementary Certificate from Wilkes University and 
have taught First, Second, Third, and currentlly Fifth Grade at Montgomery 
Avenue.I have enjoyed all the grades but I  really enjoy 5th grade.  To help 
my students further I have also done graduate work in Reading at King's. As 
you can see my background is varied and hopefully I can share  my experience 
with my students.

Mission For The Class

      All children can learn...but not always the same way.  My  Mission as 
a teacher is to help each and everyone of my students to reach their full 
potential, and to enjoy the process as they achieve their goals.  I truely 
love Reading and wish to share this whenever possible with my class. 
Hopefully, by sharing this love and encouraging it, my students will become 
stronger learners!
