TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Graduated from Marietta College, 1998, then went to North Carolina filling a position for Library Media. Returned to Ohio and was a substitute teacher at Caldwell Exempted Village, Noble County, and Marietta City Schools. In 2001 came to St. John Central to fill the Second Grade and Title I positions. 

While working in the public library system, there were many opportunities to bring new experiences through programs and activities to the children. One day, I felt that as much as I enjoyed working with children at this level, I would enjoy working with them as a teacher.

 

FAMILY

Has three children, three grandchildren and a very large Pyrenees named Paddy.

 

OUT-OF-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Enjoys spending time with family, traveling, bird watching, and leisure reading.

 

CLASSROOM POLICIES AND GOALS

Following morning assemblies, the student body makes a pledge that can be summed up as respect for yourself and others, do your best, and follow the rules in the classroom and the school. This describes the expectations in the classroom. The goals are to facilitate the transition from primary to middle school through learning organizational skills and to provide each student with high-quality educational experiences: To help each to become more internally motivated and interested in his/her learning and to make sure that each student is working to his or her potential.

                                                                                                                                                

Communication between parent and teacher is very important. â€‹If you have questions or need to discuss your student, please feel free to call or email at ptome@catholicweb.com to make arrangements for a phone conversation or meeting.

  • Students are to open their daily planners and place on desk for checking
