About the Teacher
I am originally from Long Island, NY. I moved to Delaware to attend the University of Delaware, where I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Elementary and Special Education. Since graduating, I have been employed by the Christina School District as a second grade teacher, and now by FFA as a fourth grade teacher. This is my fifth year as a teacher and I really love what I do! I have recently obtained a Masters Degree in Elementary School Counseling. In my free time I love to read, and spend time with my friends and family.

Class News
Multicultural Week
We had a wonderful time learning about Italy over the past week! I would like to thank all the parents and students that contributed food for our multicultural day celebration. Everything was DELICIOUS, and we had fun learning about foods from other cultures!
A second thank you goes out to Mr. C, our physical education teacher, for coming to speak to us about Italy, the town he grew up in, and those he has visited, and his exciting trip to the USA when he was in fourth grade! We enjoyed listening to his speech!
