Miss R here! 

I will be your child's 4th Grade Science teacher!  

I love teaching science--space, environment, rocks, nature, chemistry, motion, matter--all of it is so exciting and fun!  Discovery is the nature of science and all its activities, so I'm very excited to be facilitating your child's investigation of the world.  

I am a 2002 Riverside graduate, a 2006 University of Scranton graduate with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education, and a 2010 Wilkes University Graduate with a Master's in Educational Technology.  I have also done professional development at NASA over a few summers, which was completely awesome!  I have taught at the Riverside School District since 2007--this will be my 17th year!  YAHOO!  :O)  I have been teaching science full-time for the last six years since the district departmentalized.  

As you can see in the pictures above, many of my outside-of-school hobbies involve nature!  I love horseback riding and trail riding with my horse, hiking with my goldendoodle, and kayaking.  I am an active singer and worship leader at my church in Wilkes-barre, Diamond City Alliance Church.  When at home, I love reading, writing, listening to music and audiobooks, and watching loads of movies.  I am an avid Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Marvel fan.  I have many pets, including a horse, a golden-doodle, and three leopard geckos!
