About Mrs. Rossell

 

This is my 25th year teaching at Peter Muschal School!

 

       I started my teaching career in 1st grade and my favorite part was teaching students to read.  I moved to 3rd grade several years later and loved working on comprehension with the older students.  While on maternity leave with my daughter I went back to graduate school to get my masters and become certified as a reading specialist.  It was when I returned to PMES that I took on the role of reading specialist.  I LOVE teaching students to become strong readers.  

 

I love my family!

I have been married for 21  years.  My husband and I have 2 children.  My son, Tyler, is 15 and is in 10th grade at Bordentown Regional High School.  My daughter, Laney, is 13 and is in 8th grade at Bordentown Regional School District.

 

I love reading! 

I love reading with my students, to my students and with my own children.  As a mom and a teacher it is hard to find time to read on my own these days. When I do; I love to sit outside and dive into a good book.  I can spend hours with my head in a book, picturing all that the characters do and say.  My children and I can spend hours in a library or book store trying to decide what we will read next.  My hope is that I instill my love of reading in my students.  

                                                                                                                                                                         

I love Traveling!  

One of my favorite things to do is travel. I love experiencing and learning about the various cultures around the world. My husband and I have been to Australia, Canada, Mexico, Alaska and all over Europe.  With 2 young children we also frequent Disney World and the beach.  Our family also spends a lot of time in and around New York City.  Family time traveling is a definite favorite. 

 

I love Photography!

I love taking pictures! I have been taking some courses online in order to improve my skills.  I used to scrapbook but with our busy schedules I now make memory books online.  I have many friends who are photographers and I love when they take pictures of my children.  I use them to create keepsakes for our family.   

 

 I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with lots of fun learning opportunities!  Let's have an amazing year!
