First Grade Sing-Along

We met with all five first grade classes in the big gym to sing some of the insect songs we have been learning. Has your child shared these songs with you?

I am eagerly starting my eighth year at Union school and fourteenth year teaching in the public schools. While I have always had a love of teaching, I didn't become a certified teacher at first.

I began by leaving my home state of Michigan and heading to Vermont to earn my BA in anthropology and archaeology at the University of Vermont. I was completely enthralled at an early age by cultures of the present and past and dove into my studies. In college, I was involved in an archaeological dig of a 1000 year old Taino site in the West Indies, and researched 19th century burial remains from a cemetery in Saint Johnsbury, VT.

After college, I moved to Boston and found myself at a loss of what to do with my degree. I soon learned about an amazing after school program called Citizen Schools. Citizen Schools helps to extend the learning community for students in low-income communities and has since become an ever expanding, nationally recognized program and has even gotten the attention of President Obama. After working at Citizen Schools and as a museum teacher at a historic house museum in Boston, I decided to continue my formal education and earn my MAEd. I enrolled at Boston College, and haven’t looked back!

When I’m not at school I’m a very busy mom. My husband, Jeremy, owns a custom picture framing business in Burlington, and we have two lovely daughters, Grace (11) and Charlotte (8).

I look forward to learning more about your families!
