Biography
I taught 1st grade/bilingual at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School for the past 15 years. Last year, I had the opportunity to embark on a new adventure as a 2nd grade/bilingual teacher. I enjoy working with the bilingual population being a product of bilingual education myself. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Special Education from New Jersey City University in May 2004. I received my Bilingual Certification in 2006 and graduated with a Master of Art in Urban education in 2015.

Homework- Reading, writing, and spelling homework goes home every day in the school folders. Students will also bring home a spelling notebook to practice their spelling words every day.
Assessment, Test, and Quizzes- Every Friday, I give the class their spelling and reading tests. Please sign and return all tests the next following school day. Math tests will be announced a week before the test is giving with the exact date.
