Meet Your 3rd Grade Teacher...
 



About Mrs. Gold

Hello! My name is Mrs. Jennifer Gold and I am so happy that you'd like to get to know more about me! There is a lot to learn...I am not only a teacher, but a wife, a mother, a dancer, and a website designer! I've been married since 2006 (my maiden name was Ms. Kunz), and I have a son named Ethan who was born in June 2009. I took two years off to be a stay-at-home mom and loved every minute of it, and this is my first year back! I am really excited to start a new year with all of you!

Teaching Experience

This is my tenth year in Montgomery Township Schools. I started out teaching basic skills reading and writing for two years, and am now going on my eighth year teaching third grade!

I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. While teaching basic skills, I completed my Masters Degree in Reading from The College of New Jersey. I am also a certified Reading Specialist.

Hobbies

In my spare time, I love to dance. I have taken dance classes and performed in dance groups since I was six years old. I take tap and jazz classes once a week during the school year and (like many of you) perform in a recital every spring! In past summers I have taught dance at Mercer County Community College, but now I spend my summers tutoring and taking summer workshops in order to further my teaching skills. I also enjoy traveling, reading, shopping, taking Yoga classes, and going to the beach. I love to stay busy!

Another thing I enjoy doing is designing websites, such as this one! I own my own graphic design business, called Golden Graphic Designs. I design website graphics for other people's websites! I worked hard to achieve my Web Designer Certificate, and design websites for people (mostly teachers) all over the world including Australia!

Expectations
 
A few adjectives that describe me are friendly, excited, organized, fun, eager to learn, and motivating! I expect the same from the children, and want students who are going to have positive attitudes towards school, will be responsible in doing their homework or projects, and will be organized with their papers and belongings, and will give me 100% effort.
