Hello all,
Here is a little bit about myself, your 5th grade teacher!
About me: Hi there! I'm Mrs. Mazurkiewicz! I live in Lancaster, New York with my husband, Brian, and my one-year-old son, Bennett! We also have three cats who are always causing trouble and keeping me on my toes. One is named Junie (Yes, like Junie B. Jones, my favorite book as a kid) Tinkie, and Daisy. I have two sisters, one older (Lauren) and one younger (Courtney)! I come from a family full of teachers, so I like to think that being a teacher is in my blood!
Education: Cheektowaga Central ('09), Buffalo State College Undergrad ('14), and Buffalo State College Masters ('16)
Teaching Experience: I am so excited about approaching my 8th year here at Alden Intermediate. I am eager and ready to meet all of you!! When I became a certified teacher, I instantly got into many schools as a substitute teacher. After subbing for a few months, I was offered a long-term teaching job at Union East Elementary in Cheektowaga. There I taught reading AIS for about 4 months! I taught kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th graders reading! After that, I returned as a teacher's aide in a second-grade classroom for about 2 months! Then, I was offered yet another long-term job, but this time as a 4th-grade special education teacher! Over the summer I looked to go on many interviews and came across one here at Alden Intermediate.. and well you know how that turned out! I am so happy to be teaching 5th grade again with all of you
Hobbies/Interests: Shopping, reading, being with my family & friends, coloring-just to name a few!
