Welcome! I'm Christine Beardslee and have been an educator since 1999. I was raised in Carteret and find it incredibly rewarding that I am able to give back to students in my hometown. I attended Kean University where I earned my B.A in Elementary Education and Music. In 2005, I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy and very recently completed certification as a Reading Specialist. Throughout my tenure in Carteret, I have taught a variety of grade levels- Kindergarten through Fourth- as well as Reading Intervention. In addition to teaching, I enjoy music, reading inspirational books, baking, traveling, shopping, an occasional spa day, and spending time with my family.
