My teaching assignments: Grade 3/4French Immersion and Grade 4 FSL

My educational background and experience: I attended St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia from 2005-2011. While there, I completed my Bachelor of Arts (Double Major in French and History) and my Bachelor of Education (Middle School/French Immersion/FSL). This is my eleventh year teaching. I have experience in Grades 3-9.

About me: I recently got married to my partner and spent a month in Nova Scotia with my family. I travel there when I am able! I like to read and watch documentaries and scary movies. I enjoy trying to keep houseplants alive and cuddling with my cat, Ginger. 

What I love most about teaching? I love connecting with my students and their families. I ensure that our classroom is a safe space and that everyone feels cared for. I enjoy sharing the French language and seeing the lightbulb moments and the progress of my students. 

What I look forward to most this school year? I am looking forward to teaching a combined class for the first time. I am excited to get to know my 25 new students and make learning French come alive.
