My name is Maury Joy and I have been teaching in Virginia Beach for 21
years. I have been a third grade teacher for 18 years and Gifted Resource
for 3 years. I was a student in first grade when John B. Dey was brand new
(and dinosaurs roamed the earth). My two boys went to Dey and my mother
taught third grade here,as well, back in the 1960's. I love teaching
children, kayaking on the Lynnhaven River and reading all types of
literature. The thing that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up is
when I see students make a connection to something we are studying. Those
lightbulb moments make my day!
The mission for my Gifted Classes will be written when the students have a
chance to weigh in on what they think is important for their learning.
Choice and ownership is important for all students!
