Welcome to First Grade!

I am excited to be your child's first grade teacher. First grade is such an important learning year. You will be amazed by how much they will grow.   I have been a teacher for twenty-eight (28) years; twenty-five (25) years in West Orange.  I have taught Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, Fifth and Basic Skills.  I graduated from William Paterson College (now University) and Seton Hall University. I look forward to a wonderful and exciting school year!
