SCHOOL PHONE: 215-643-8961
code format="owner" I have been a teacher in Upper Dublin for 28 years. I've taught

kindergarten, second and third grades. This is my 18th year

as a gifted support teacher.

I graduated from Upper Dublin a looong time ago. My daughter is a graduate of Upper Dublin HIgh School and my son will be graduating in June. My son goes to UDHS. My husband has started his first term as an Upper Dublin school director. I am a red cardinal through and through!! ( I'm also a Blue Hen since I went to the University of Delaware.)

Some of my favorite things are reading, chocolate, dancing, cooking,watching movies and teaching.

Mission For The Class
code format="owner" My mission to help each one of my students reach their intellectual

potential. As I tell them in class, our class is a time for them to stretch

their brains, to work hard and take risks as thinkers. Our class motto is

Cre, Solve, Crete which is Latin for think, solve, create.

I believe my job is to set up the forum and situations which best invite

learning to occur and then to act as an assistant to the learning process.

I believe our room should be a place where you can work on challenges and

take risks with a safe place to land if you fail.

I believe in teaching kids to listen and value others because you never know

when you'll need a helping hand.

I believe in teaching kids that failing is part of a process, not an end.

I believe that conversation and friendship are powerful tools of learning.

I believe in discovery and awe and in not knowing all of the answers.

I believe that a sense of humor can often save the day.

I believe that teaching is a craft and an art, not a job.

I believe my favorite quote from Henry Ford, " Whether you think you can or

you think you can't, you're right."

I believe I am very priviledged, as a teacher, to have a small part in each

child's journey.
