Who Am I?
My name is Mrs. Quirk. I grew up in Ruxton, Maryland outside of Baltimore, Maryland. I moved to Boston with my best friend from college after attending the University of Delaware. I met my husband, Tom, in Boston and have lived here ever since. I have 4 children and their names are Codi(24), Abby(23), Cameron(21) and Courtney(19). Codi and Abby work in Boston and San Diego while Cameron and Courtney go to college. I am very proud of each of them and love watching them grow up - they all loved being 4th graders! I also attended Lesley University to learn how to be a teacher and have taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grade.
This summer I participated in responsive classroom and writing workshops and worked on setting up my classroom. In my free time, I enjoyed relaxing on the Cape with family and friends. I read lots of new books too!
When I was in fourth grade, my favorite subjects were writing and P.E. I consider myself an athlete and love all sports, especially running and tennis. My favorite thing to do is play or spend time with my kids as well as watch them in their own activities or sports. I also enjoy relaxing and reading on the beach. I like to be busy- sometimes I do too many things and have a hard time getting them all done!
The thing that is special about me is that I love to exercise. I love to run, walk, play tennis, lacrosse, soccer, basketball and ski. Most importantly, I am looking forward to spending the year with all of you!
Your teacher,
Mrs. Quirk :)
