Cranberries

We started our cranberry unit today.  First we gathered a list of everything we already know about cranberries and then the kids posed questions they would like to have answered during our studies.  Some great thoughts here!

    Welcome to third grade in Room 202 at Station Avenue!  This is my third year teaching third grade in this building.  Before that, I taught at John Simpkins Elementary.  There, I taught a year of third grade, a year of fifth, and two years of fourth grade.  I love what I do!

    Where in the World?

    I have been living on the Cape, in Yarmouthport, for the last 17 years and absolutely love it here!  I enjoy the change of seasons, the natural scenery, and all the things there are to do on the Cape.  I also enjoy the small town feel.  Before I moved here with my family, I lived in West Palm Beach, Florida for most of my life.  Paterson, New Jersey is where I was born.

    Education

    In 1992, I graduated Dennis Yarmouth High School and continued on to Cape Cod Community College where I earned my Associates Degree.  After that, I attended Wheelock College in Boston for my Bachelors Degree…I could walk to Fenway Park from school and see the awesome Red Sox in action!  I graduated Wheelock in 2000 and started teaching.  In a few years, I decided to go back to school for my Master’s Degree at Salem State College, finishing in 2007.  Whew!  That is a lot of school.

    Interests

    When I am not teaching school or going to school, I do a million other things that I love.  One thing I really like about myself is that I am never bored or without something to do.  I thank my parents for helping me develop my imagination and creativity at a young age.

    My hobbies include:
