Fun with Language 2013
I live in South Windsor with my husband, two sons and cat. My oldest son, Brayden, started third grade this year and his brother, Bryce, started kindergarten. We love being outside, having fun and sharing laughs.
This is my 13th year teaching at Gildersleeve School and I couldn't be more excited!!! I enjoy teaching and absolutely love watching my students develop a love of learning. I'm looking forward to sharing a great year with you!

Students are motivated to do well in order to earn points. Monthly prizes are awarded to top scorers. Sign in information will be sent home along with directions on how to use the site at home.
