ALL ABOUT MRS. SLATER
This is my 29th year of teaching! I graduated from Edinboro with my undergraduate studies in Elementary Education, then masters degree and reading specialist degree shortly thereafter. I started my teaching at a small school, Holy Family School which was in eastern Erie and then moved to the Iroquois School District before starting the long haul in Erie. I taught middle school history, world geography and world cultures at Harding, then spent over 10 years in grade 3! I have been at Grover Cleveland teaching 4th or 5th grade over the last decade.
I have been married over 27 years and I am a proud mom to two children. I enjoy watching them bloom into amazing adults, study hard in college and play their sports of waterpolo and baseball. In my spare time I enjoy peace that a walk in the woods brings, gardening, reading a great book or going to the gym. I am also a dog mom and the students will love hearing what is going on with Norman, our 2 year old golden retriever.
