Hello!  Welcome to the Discovery Program.  I am thrilled to be leading the grades 4-8 portion of our program this year!  I have devoted years to teaching math and reading classes in the previous configuration of our Discovery Program.  Now, I am looking forward to the challenge of creating a variety of challenges for students in grades 4-8.  Before I became a staff developer and teacher in the Discovery Program in Tenafly, I was a classroom teacher in New York and New Jersey public elementary and middle schools.  In addition, I worked as a literacy consultant with AUSSIE in the NYC public schools and earned my PhD at the University of New Hampshire in Donald Graves’ Reading and Writing Program.

Adrian Chua represented TMS in the Regional Scripps Spelling Bee on Tuesday, March 16th!  He came in 7th place, which sets a record for our school.  Congratulations, Adrian!

I will continue to add to this set, which is intended for students in grades 4-6.
