About the Teacher

Working at OLH/SL school has been a privilege of mine  for the past  24  years.    I have  taught various grade levels and all subjects, my absolute favorite being my current position of 3rd grade!!  I have a dual Maryland  certification  in  Early Childhood and Elementary Education,  enabling me to teach grades Pre-K thru 3, as well as 1-6.  I have a Master's degree in Education.  I have a passion for reading, and strongly believe that the more a student reads, the smarter they become!  I also  believe in the benefits of parents/guardians reading to their child nightly!  There is no better way to boost vocabulary, comprehension, and general knowledge than by sitting and  reading books together, not to mention, the bonding experience that this time provides. In addition to reading, I love math,field trips,  nature, playing outside and  bicycling,  cooking/baking, frogs, owls, dragon flies,  warm weather,   and promoting peace.
