Third Grade

 

          I graduated from Chestnut Hill College in 2001 and this is my sixth year teaching. I worked in the Wissahickon School District for three years in Special Education before taking a year to re-group and substitute teach within the Norristown School District.

          I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education, again at Chestnut Hill College, and am anticipating graduating soon. My goal for the students is to make their third grade experience fun and interesting. CCS is the perfect blend of parents working with teachers to achieve this goal. After all, it takes a village to raise a child (African Proverb).
