Who, what, where and
When????

2. Introduction
Hello,
My name is Marybeth Wallace. I have taught both First Grade and
Kindergarten for the pass ten years. Prior to teaching, I was a R.N. for
twenty- five years. What can I say... I love learning new things!
I teach Kindergarten in Maynard, MA. Yes, where the "Journey" begins!
Last year, I was a student in the MA RETELL SEI (Sheltered English
Immersion) Pilot Program. It was fun being a student and learning new ELL
strategies, so I thought; why not continue my own educational journey this
year. I enrolled in the Literacy CAGS because I believe, if you can read and
write your dreams can come true. I want to be the best Literacy Teacher
that I can be in order to empower my five and six year olds with the tools
they need to become strong readers and writers.
Enjoy the last days of summer. I look forward to learning with and from all
of you.
Take care,
Marybeth

a retired Captain from the Lowell, MA
Fire Department.

4. My favorite thing in the whole wide world to do is spend time
with my four children James, Christine, Katelynn, and Mike!
James is a third year Surgical Resident at
Balboa Naval Hospital in Calf. In his
“spare time” he loves to go fishing.
Christine is a Fourth Grade Teacher in
Shirley, MA. doing what teachers’ love to
do over the Summer: read at the beach!

four children: two boys and two girls, and now I have them!
Katelynn is a Sixth Grade Teacher. She
teaches at a school for the Performing Arts.
She recently sang is a school talent show with
one of her students! She loves animals. Peter
is my grand- dog.
Dr. Mike is an Astrophysicist . When he’s not
doing research, writing papers, or giving
presentations; he enjoys narrating theater
