About Ms. Curtis!

Here are some facts about me so you can get to know me a little better! I hope you find these little tidbits interesting and maybe we have something in common! If you do, tell me about it when we have some free time!

 I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and I love teaching fourth grade and science!

I am originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada so that means I am Canadian. My mom and dad still live there but all my family lives in Queens and Long Island. I also have family in Canada, Malta, England and Australia. 

In 2023, I officially became an American citizen

I graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2003 with a BA in General Arts & Science; Medaille College in Buffalo, New York in 2005 with a Masters in Education; and SUNY Stony Brook for school administration in 2016.  

I've taught Kindergarten, Grade 3, Grade 4, and science. Fourth Grade is my favorite grade! I love teaching science and social studies too!

My favorite colors are: PINK, BLACK, and NEON GREEN! But I usually just wear a lot of brown tones. Yeah, I know... I'm boring

I love sneakers and I wear them all the time! Converse and Vans are my favorite sneakers. Jordans are cool, too. 

I have dog named Pipa. She is so naughty. 

I adore pink donuts, coffee, and French fries. 

I love to travel and experience new cultures! My dream destinations at the moment are: Goa (India), Tokyo, and The Grand Canyon!  I would love to visit Guyana too because I like roti and Doubles so I am sure they are delicious there! 

I can speak English and French fluently. I know American Sign Language but I forgot a lot of it. I guess I need to practice more. I am also learning how to speak Spanish! Yo vivo en Nueva York!

I love to learn, read, draw, and listen to music in my spare time! I am also trying to teach myself how to play the ukulele. It's not going very well.

My hobbies include baking cakes and cupcakes, cooking, anything that has to do with technology, yoga, walking my dog, watching documentaries, and shopping.. Lots of shopping!
