About Mrs. Gish

Welcome Students From Homerooms 14 and 21! 

I am just thrilled to be your 4th grade teacher this year! Please take a moment to explore our classroom site to learn more about your new teacher and what we will be learning this year.  If you are in my homeroom for the 2025-2026 school year,  I will be your Literacy and Social Studies teacher.  If you are in my switch class I will be teaching you Literacy.  I know you will quickly learn all about Indian Hill and love it!!  I am so excited to teach you and have fun together this year.  I can't wait to meet you on the first day of school! 

I look forward to an exciting and productive year with you.  It is a pleasure to teach you each day and truly enjoy what I do.  This will be my 28th year teaching at Indian Hill which is hard to believe!!  I have taught in both 4th and 5th grades, as well as being  a regular education and special education teacher.   Three years ago,  I was awarded  NJ Governor's Teacher of the Year Award!   I was so grateful and proud to be recognized for all I do in the classroom.  

My favorite grade to teach is fourth grade, and my favorite subjects are Literacy and Social Studies.  You will soon see how much I love to teach Social Studies!!   I went to Boston this summer to learn more about the American Revolution.

My family and I live in Wall Township (Allenwood).   My husband and I have a daughter named Grace. She graduated High School in June 2023, and now attends Rider University.   We have a  Portuguese Water Dog named Paddington, that is almost ten years old.    He is named after the book and movie.  

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, vacationing, going on day trips, and  listening to music.  I also enjoy reading, walking my dog, and practicing yoga.  I hope to use some fun mindfulness practices in the classroom this year! :)  I am looking forward to learning all about you this year.    Please come ready to share about yourself on the first few days of school.
