ET Hamilton School

A Little Bit About Me:  This is my 27th year of teaching!!  I have taught fourth grade for twenty years, first grade for one year, and third grade for five years.  I am very passionate about teaching and love my 4th graders and being a 4th grade teacher!  I am looking forward to an amazing 2024-25 school year.  I am READY!  Are YOU?  Together we will learn to love LEARNING and take on any challenges we may face! 

My Classroom: With so many changes in our world over the past few years, I have learned many new ways to stay connected, and I love combining the "old way" of teaching with all the "new ways".  Some of my favorite subjects to teach are science, writing, and math!  In science, we will learn about energy, waves, all different types of storms, and  explore plants & animals.  I also love to teach WRITING and will include writing in all subjects.  In math, we will learn two and three-digit multiplication, long division, fractions, and geometry just to name a few! And for our historians, in fourth grade, we will tour the United States and learn about the 5 regions of our country.  Fourth grade is a BIG year! It is the year that you transition from "learning to read" to "READING to LEARN".  We will spend the year expanding your knowledge and building on the knowledge you already have.  We will also incorporate 21st Century Learning in the classroom in all subject areas.  Technology is the tool that connects our classroom to the rest of the world.  Technology will allow us to explore beyond the books and help us develop a better understanding of each topic we explore.  It will help us learn about the great big world that is out there beyond Voorhees! 

My Family:  I have been married for twenty-six years, and we have two children: Madison and Tommy, along with two dogs: Blitzen (11) and our new PUPPY, Babette.  My family is everything to me.  We love to vacation in Sea Isle City, and we also love to travel to places where we can go hiking, tubing, and  white water rafting.  Going to Disney is also a family favorite...all you need is "faith, trust, and Pixie Dust".  We also love to play games.  This summer, some of our favorites were Rumicub, Sequence, Tenzi, and Sushi Go.  Now that summer is coming to an end, my children will be off to college.  Madison is a third year Ph.D. student studying electrical engineering at Princeton University, and Tommy is a senior at TCNJ studying to be a history teacher.  Once September arrives, it will time to spend my days with YOU as your FOURTH GRADE TEACHER!!
