A Little About Me: 

This is my 27th year teaching!  I started my career at Beach Street Middle School and taught there for 7 years. I then taught 1st grade for a year and finally... I have been a 5th grade teacher ever since! I absolutely LOVE what I do and look forward to all the adventures we will have together!!


My family, of course

Laughing, joking and smiling & spreading kindness!!


The Ones I LOVE! : My Family

Kamryn is 10 and is in 5th grade at Oquenock 


My husband, Mr. Gissaro and I.

My pups:  Willow (4 years old), Mikey (3 years old) and Winston (12 years old)

=======================

I have 1 older sister who is a math teacher and 2 older brothers who are both pilots for Jetblue and Southwest Airlines.  They all live in Arizona, so that is a place I love to visit!

The people who had the most influence in my life was my MOM and my DAD. My mom was a very creative/artistic person and who had the biggest heart.  She helped me to become the person and the educator I am today! She also had a love of butterflies like I do!! I think the butterfly represents embracing  change and new beginnings in a positive way  and always, always seeing the beauty in nature! 

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!


Together let's learn about:

READING AND WRITING

We will Also Research Topics in Science and Social Studies!!
