Welcome to 3rd Grade! My name is Ms. Dunlap and I can’t wait to meet you! This is going to be a fantastic year and I am so excited to be your teacher. 3rd Grade is an amazing year of both academic and personal growth. I know that we will make so many amazing memories together and I am looking forward to getting to know you better. 

Del Rey is truly such a fantastic community with amazing students, and wonderful families. The third grade team collaborate closely with each other and strive to make the best this year the best possible.

I have both a teaching credential and a Master’s in Teaching from Saint Mary’s College. My MA project was focused on using children’s literature as an avenue for starting social justice related conversations.

I grew up in just through the tunnel in Piedmont and have over 10 years of experience working with children in many different environments. I’ve spent time working with Bay Area Children’s Theatre and am dedicated to having students use their own interests and passions to drive their academics. I am also very passionate about ensuring the well being of every student and building a classroom community of belongingness. 

Let's have a fabulous year together!
