ELA:

                    Mrs. Chamberlin


Hi! I am Mrs. Chamberlin, I am the fifth grade ELA teacher at BFMS, I started working at the school as a para educator in 1995. At the urging of several amazing teachers, I went back to school and earned my degree in education. I have been working at BFMS ever since. I grew up outside of Boston but have lived in Vermont for many years. I live in Bellows Falls with my husband; we have two children and five grandchildren. Some of my favorite things include family and friends, the ocean, reading and Kenny Chesney!
