Hello! My name is Mrs. Cipperly, and if you are reading this, there's a good chance that I am your 5th grade teacher. Let me tell you a little bit about myself...
This will be my 15th year in the Brunswick Central School District. Prior to coming to Tamarac, I taught for two years in the Schenectady City School District, in fifth and sixth grades. Believe it or not, I have wanted to teach ever since I was in elementary school myself- fifth grade was what I always dreamed of teaching! After graduating high school, I attended SUNY College at Oneonta and graduated in 2008 with a degree in Childhood Education (1-6), with a concentration in Spanish. In the summer of 2011, I received my master's degree in Childhood Literacy from UAlbany.
I'm originally from Clifton Park, but my mom and two sisters reside in Florida. I love going to visit them in the sunshine. Some of you may also know my husband from Tamarac- he used to teach 4th grade, but now teaches 6th grade social studies in the middle school. Mr. Cipperly and I have two children- Sienna who is 5 years old, and Nolan who is 2 years old!
Two things that are very important to me are respect and effort. I expect all students to try their hardest, and to treat both adults and peers with respect. Below you will find a list of quick facts about me... Do we have anything in common?
