Education


(placeholder)

This will be my 21st year at Gaffney Lane.  For all of that time, I have been teaching first, second, or third grade.   My favorite subjects to teach are math and science.   I am very excited about trying out Morning Meetings as well as flexible seating this year.

We are also going to be working on Growth Mindset this year!  Be prepared to learn about your brain and how we can make it stronger.
