This is my 28th year as a teacher in the Yonkers Public School District (banking was my first career), and my ninth year as the 6th Grade Math and Science teacher at School 5. I am a "Boy Mom"... and I am outnumbered!!!! My son Aidan is a 12th Grader, Tyler is a 10th Grader, and our dog Derby celebrated his 6th birthday in May. I'm also a total sports mom! I love watching both my boys play ball (basketball takes up most of our time) and yelling at the television on football Sundays. I've lived in New York my entire life, so my loyalties are with the Yankees, Knicks, and the Jets.
Music and roller coasters are my other passions. I love incorporating music into my lessons, even though I have an absolutely horrible singing voice (but that has never stopped me!) I am the first one running towards the coasters at any and all amusement parks (however I'm deathly afraid of rides that just drop).
I love, love, love teaching math and seeing the "Ah Ha!" moments when my students grasp a concept!!!!
