About

I’m a teacher who loves designing tasks to motivate, engage, and challenge.

Developing curriculum is my passion. A wide variety of classes provides me with opportunities to explore, extend and enhance. My daily classes include 5th grade honors math, 6th grade math and 6th grade science. Weekly, I have math enrichment groups for grades 1-4, a Jewish/Israel History enrichment for grade 4, and a Language Arts enrichment for grade 2. Additionally, I see some middle school students for Organizational Skills and math support.

I’m a mom to four yummy kids (ages 11, 9.5, 4 and 18 months) and a wife to a Canadian hockey lover. After living seven years in Toronto, my family moved to Teaneck, NJ five years ago.

Happiness is getting everything organized!

My 180 blog is a window of opportunity! Using daily photographs to document and reflect on the school year.
