A Meet and Greet with Ms. Mangos in Room 6, on Monday, August 24th at 2:30

For those of you that don't know me, please come to Room 6 on
Monday, August 24th at 2:30. 

  When I'm not teaching I love to hang out with my little girl, Mimi.

She is a four and a half year old Shih Tzu and she is a diva!


I got in my Time Machine and traveled around the world this summer.

Here I am in London, England.

I also went to my hometown of Meteora, Greece.  

  I saw many famous paintings in London at the National Gallery.  This is one of my favorites by Henri Rousseau, called, Tiger in a Tropical Storm.  

I also love to ride my bike.  I rode in the CicLAvia this year in West Los Angeles.  My best friend is a biker and we got to ride on Venice Boulevard with no cars!  Pretty fabulous!

My biggest passion in education is fostering a love of science and reading in my students.  I also love plants and animals, and the garden outside my classroom is an incubator for many of the experiments we do.  We have Science Thursday where we do an experiment a week.  Science, Technology, Reading, Writing, and Math are an important part of my classroom.

To learn more about me and my teaching style, please take a look at the blog archive.  It's a great gallery of pictures of what we did last year in 1st and 2nd grade.  I look forward to working with each of my students and their families as I gear up for an exciting year of learning with my first and second graders.

Bon Voyage!
