Grade 3

 My name is Miss Dunn. I graduated from Seton Hall University in 2023 with my undergraduate degree and graduated in May of 2024 with a Masters in Special Education. In September I will be co-teaching with Miss Dunlevy in a third grade classroom. This will be my first year at MTES and I couldn’t be happier to join this community.

Third grade is full of opportunities for students to engage in many new academic objectives while fostering new friendships.  This year, my teaching goals are to create an engaging and supportive classroom environment where all students feel valued and excited to learn. I aim to improve their critical thinking skills through hands-on activities and encourage collaboration among students. Additionally, I want to focus on helping each student reach their individual potential by providing personalized feedback and support.

Outside of teaching I enjoy going to the beach, taking my dog on walks and visiting new places.  My favorite place to go is the Outer Banks in North Carolina! I can’t wait to meet all of you and know we will have a great year together!

Hello! My name is Miss Andrea Fattorusso and I teach third grade. We are going to have the best year together!

I joined the MTES Family in 2022 as a second grade teacher. I graduated from Centenary University in 2022 with a Bachelors in Elementary and Special Education. 

When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy camping and traveling with my family. One of my favorite places to travel to is Brazil, and I am currently learning Portuguese. I also like to cook and bake with my friends in my free time. 

My goal is to provide a memorable school year, while building the students' love for learning. In my classroom, I want all students to feel welcome and to try their hardest. It is okay to make mistakes; what matters the most is that you get back up and try again. I look forward to watching your children grow and cannot wait to get to know all of them in the fall!

Hello! My name is Mrs. Rachel Hanson, and I've had the privilege of teaching at MTES since the 2021–2022 school year. Over the years, I've been continually inspired by the supportive community of staff, students, and families here at MTES.

Third grade is a pivotal year filled with growth and discovery. I believe that students thrive in an environment where they feel happy, engaged, and respected as individuals. My goal is to nurture a love of learning in each child that extends beyond the classroom. I look forward to collaborating with you to ensure a successful and enriching year for your child!
