A little about Kristin

A born and raised New Yorker, I currently live on the Upper West Side with my husband Greg and dog Scout.  I have a big Italian family and we spend a lot of time together; my grandmothers make the best Sunday sauce!  When I’m not teaching (or thinking about teaching!), I enjoy reading, walking Scout through Riverside Park and catching up with friends. Guilty pleasures include online shopping and watching cheesy romantic comedies.

This summer, Greg, Scout and I headed to Long Beach Island in New Jersey and stayed there most of July and August.  We lounged on the beach, enjoyed delicious seafood, read lots (and lots and lots) of books, went bike-riding and played tennis.  What a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation!

I studied English and American Literature at New York University and Inclusive Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. I'm certified in general and special education.  This is my fifth year (wow, time flies!) teaching first grade and creating first grade curricula.  I am passionate about teaching and love working with Stefanie at EVCS.   I care deeply about creating a safe, warm and engaging classroom environment where students can take risks, build meaningful relationships, think critically, and develop a love for learning.  I am so excited for the school year to begin and look forward to meeting you and your children in September!
