Hello, and welcome to my
webpage! My name is Mrs. Christine Martin. I am originally from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania where I was born and raised. I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and
will be caught wearing black and gold most weekends throughout the football
season. Right now, I have two wonderful dogs named Dexter (Bichon Frise) and
Pyper (German Shepherd). I have a daughter named Bradlyn who was born in June
2019.
I obtained a dual certification in Special Education (Grades K-12) and Elementary Education (Grades K-6) from LaRoche College. I also have a minor in Psychology. I have a Masters Degree in Reading Education from Old Dominion University. I am a certified Reading Specialist and ESOL teacher. I've taught first grade for 9 years in Prince William County Schools. (6 at Westridge Elementary and 3 at Leesylvania Elementary)
I moved to Virginia in 2011 to begin my career in education. I absolutely LOVE
teaching 1st grade! I have taught many grades throughout my experience teaching
Saturday Academy, Summer School, and tutoring on the side. However, my passion
is within the first grade classroom. I am ready for a wonderful year of growth
and learning!
