Meet+Mrs.+Dalton

I am so happy to be in my eleventh year of teaching at Maddux! I find the fourth grade to be a very rewarding year of education for children. We will learn and grow in many academic and social ways. I believe in cooperative education in which students learn to work together to accomplish goals in learning and to share their ideas. I believe in educating the whole child and strive to help all of my students to grow: academically, socially, and emotionally. It is so important to empower students to become independent, lifelong learners!

I graduated from Miami University in 2001. Since, I have worked in many areas of professional development. In 2005 I received my Masters in Education with a concentration in the area of literacy from Dominican University. I have taught Summer School for Forest Hills school district for the past six summers as well. I feel education is extremely important and have a strong desire to do all I can for students. My twin sister is a current teacher, my mother just recently retired from teaching, and my grandmother was a teacher as well.

I am a wife and mother as well as a teacher. I have been married for ten years to my husband Mike. He and I have twin daughters, Carolyn and Emily. The girls are the lights of my life and are eight years old, becoming third graders. We enjoy family time and they are a continuous source of joy and laughter.
