Welcome! 

This is my 5th year teaching in Pine Plains, and I absolutely love it here! I currently co-teach with Mrs. Chase in 4th grade. 

I enjoy reading, being outsite, and playing with my parrot, Gryffin. I recently got married (October 2019) and will change my last name to Cartolano this summer.

Some background about myself: I've always lived in Dutchess County. I received my bachelor's degree from Mount Saint Mary College with a major in mathematics and a minor in psychology. I stayed at Mount Saint Mary to earn my master's degree in literacy. I am certified in General Education and Special Education for grades 1-6. I am also certified in Literacy Birth-Gr. 6. I am currently pursuing certification in the Orton Gillingham Approach to reading instruction.
