3rd grade

 

My name is Claire Houser. I just moved to Virginia with my family over the summer.  I previously spent time teaching in Texas, California, Florida and Hawaii.  I have two daughters, two cats, and two dogs.  I love warm weather and the beach.  I love to laugh and joke, and when I am not at Dogwood, I can usually be found in my kitchen cooking or baking.  I am so excited to be a part of the Dogwood family!

Hi my name is Bette Stobo and here are some fun facts about me.  I am a Northern Virginia Native, I actually graduated from Fairfax County Public Schools and  attended college in Arlington Virginia. I am a proud graduate of Marymount University where I graduated with my bachelors in elementary education and masters in special education specialization.  For the last four years I taught in Arlington County Public schools but last year moved to Herndon Virginia which prompted my move back to my roots in Fairfax County Public Schools. I have taught in Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uganda which I am very proud of and loved my experience abroad. I feel like my time teaching  abroad has lead me to celebrate the diversity and cultures in my classroom. We also have a class pet a turtle named Oakie which students simply love and take care of proudly.  

My name is Kelsey Bothwell. I have just moved here from Colorado where I taught Kindergarten and 1st grade. If you can’t find me, I’m probably in the mountains spending time in the great outdoors.
