I am very excited about teaching 5th grade at Henderson ES. This is my 7th year at Henderson and I love it! I team teach with Mrs Baum. I teach Math and Science, while Mrs. Baum teaches Language Arts and Social Studies.

I have been a teacher for more than 20 years. I graduated with a BSc. double major in Biology and Psychology from Acadia University. A few years later I earned my B.Ed from Acadia University and moved to Mexico. In Mexico I taught at two different schools for 13 years. I taught at all grade levels from kindergarten to grade 6. Seven years ago I moved to Montclair VA and have been teaching 5th grade at Henderson ES.

I have recently completed my Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration at GMU in 2009. Last year I embarked on the journey of becoming a National Board Certified teacher.

I have always enjoyed creating an active learning environment for my students. I believe if students are challenged to do their best they become independent, responsible students. I truly believe that when high expectations are given each student strives to do the best they can, and they will always succeed.
