About Your Teacher
I am so excited about the 2013/2014 school
year! This is my tenth, yes, tenth year
teaching 1,2,3 grade in room 116, at Faith North Montessori. I am an AMS trained and certified Montessori
directress and have an M.Ed. in Cross-Cultural teaching. My undergraduate degree is a B.S. in
Accounting and Marketing from New York University. During this teaching journey, I have been the
Grade Level Chairperson for Elem 1, a mentor teacher, led the first school wide
Homework Club, held the position of PTA/ Site Council Representative, and have
been deemed by the district to be a Highly Qualified Teacher. I enjoy teaching your children and take a
“Cosmic” approach to their education. My
hobbies include, but are not limited to: reading, crafts such as knitting,
crocheting, tennis, and bike riding.
Supply List
I encourage everyone to attend Back to School
Night on July 29 at 6:00. If your child is a first year student in my classroom, I would like to have a New Parent meeting at 5:00. New parents have many additional questions that I need to address and usually would like a class tour along with individual attention. Please bring
twenty dollars, if possible and yourself.
Do not purchase any supplies, please!
We do not use backpacks nor anything with logos. Your children will be carrying canvas tote
bags that they will decorate in class as part of their first in class art
project. These bags will be brought to
school with them each day.
Homework will be sent home in folders that will
also be distributed in class. Homework
will go home on Mondays and be returned on or before the following Monday. Third years will be doing Buckle Down
practice, price to be determined from front office.
On July 29, I will discuss all FAQ’s.. I will hold a separate meeting
for new incoming first graders so that their individual needs can be addressed. Our room parent/ volunteer spot coordinator
is Kathy Brasch and our e mail parent is Glenda Wheten. Should you have other technical questions,
perhaps they can provide assistance during the school year. A big shout out to both wonderful parents for
volunteering in our classroom. It takes
teamwork to be successful!
