Hello MAY

The month of May is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. As a class we will pray a decade of the Rosary daily. If students have rosaries at home, I encourage them to bring them to school. We will also focus on our saint of the month Blessed Chiara Luce Badano. Students will be encouraged to be like Blessed Chiara in learning how to resolve conflicts, set goals, and explore the Catholic Social Justice Teaching of Rights and Responsibilities.

I received my initial certification in Special Education/Elementary Education from Western Washington University. I hold a Montessori Degree from Northwest Montessori school and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction: Reading and Writing from Lesley University. I began my teaching career with a variety of classroom positions and joined the St John faculty in 1990 as a Kindergarten teacher. I later moved to 2nd grade, then to middle school where for the past 10 years I have taught a variety of subjects most currently as 8th grade homeroom and middle school religion teacher. Last year I asked to move to 4th grade, a grade I have never taught before. I am a native Seattleite growing up in the Wedgewood neighborhood and attending OLL and Blanchet high school. I am a wife, mother of 3 adult daughters, and one granddaughter. What I love most about teaching is experiencing the joy that learning brings to my students.
