Hello I am Mrs. Eccleston and I am so excited to be your child's 5th grade ELA teacher! I started my career here at KDM as a student teacher in a resource room as well as 4th grade while completing my degrees from William Paterson University. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology, as well as obtaining my Teacher of Students with Disabilities Endorsement. Upon completing my student teaching at KDM, I was then hired to cover a six month kindergarten maternity leave. I have taught 4th grade, 1st grade, as well as 5th grade for the past several years. I am so excited to be your child’s ELA teacher and I look forward to watching each of my students learn and grow throughout the year!
