Hello! My name is Miss Reggiani and I am excited to be teaching First Grade at Washington Elementary this year! As a former Kindergarten teacher at Washington, I look forward to continuing on to First Grade with our students.   I am passionate about education, and teaching the whole child.  I consider myself a life-long learner and I am dedicated to ensuring all my students receive the best education possible. 

I consider all my students my kids and make it a point to create a safe and inviting space for each child to walk into every morning.  I believe in fostering creativty, curiousity, and a love of learning through lessons designed to meet every students needs and interests.  It is equally as important to me that students are happy and learn how to be a part of a community.  Overall, child development is a key element of all aspects of my classrom.  

My Education:

I recently received my Ed.MA in Special Education from Rutgers University, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.  In 2017 graduated Magna Cum Laude from The College of New Jersey with a duel major in Elementary Education and Art. My certifications include Elementary Education K-6,  Special Education and Art Education K-12.  One of my greatest future goals is to open an Arts integrated Summer program for Special needs children.

Outside of the Classroom:

When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, going to museums, painting, doing yoga, and spending time with my family.  My favorite museum is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  I come from a family of teachers and frequently attend Professional Development workshops with my mother, who is a Kindergarten teacher.  

I can't wait to meet you!
