Meet+Mrs.+Costello


 * Welcome to our classroom! I am very excited to begin a new school year with you. My family and I had an amazing summer! We spent our summer vacation at the beach in Ocean City, NJ. We had beautiful weather and our kids enjoyed playing in the sand. We also enjoyed spending time at the Upper Moreland Swim Club. I have a 7 year old son, Jackson, who will be in Second Grade this year. He is very excited! My daughter, Gracie Leigh, is going to be a big 5 year old in December. She will be starting preschool this year and she is so excited! Julian, is 5 months old! He loves his big brother and sister so much! You may remember seeing Mr. Costello around the building last year! He would love coming into school to visit with the students of the Primary School! Hopefully this year he will be able to meet each of you. **

===**I have been teaching for 11 years. I taught 5th and 6th grade in a private school before starting my career here at Upper Moreland. I am now in my 10th year as a teacher here and love each moment at the Primary School! Every year, I enjoy getting to know a new group of students and their families. Our goal is to make learning fun and meet each student where they are as a learner. We want to challenge each of our students to be the best that they can be. We feel that it is important to develop a sense of community and family. We want our students to love working and growing together this school year! Mrs. Gallagher and I have been friends for a very long time and we hope that we can be a strong example for our students of what it takes to be a good friend and how working together is an important part of being a good person. **===

===**Our lessons and the way we run our classroom each year has a strong focus on developing the whole child. We look forward to seeing at Meet the Teacher Night to share more with you about our classroom and the wonderful experiences your child will have this school year. **===
