Hello! My name is Natalia Jarema.  I am really excited to start this year off and be your child's first grade teacher!  This is my tenth year teaching at Ross Street School. I have been teaching third grade for eight years and am really excited to get the opportunity to work with first graders and help them build their foundational skills.  I graduated from Kean University with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and am pursuing my Master's Degree in Learning, Cognition, and Development at Rutgers University.  I love being a teacher and helping children find their strengths and work toward success.  I have always loved learning and hope to instill that in each of my students.  I'm looking forward to getting to know each of my new students, sharing laughs, and learning!
