Welcome to Second Grade in Room 13! My name is Mrs. Bastien. This will be my first year at Gayhead, and I'm so excited to be a part of this community! I've previously been a permanent substitute at Oak Grove, as well as a leave replacement at Glenham Elementary in Beacon. My husband is an Earth Science teacher at John Jay HS. We have a 3 year old dog named Indy - he is a Poodle and Australian Shepard mix! When I'm not teaching, I love spending time outdoors, reading, or tending to my houseplants.
I will be using Class Dojo as my primary source of communication throughout the year. This free app allows us to give you a glimpse into our daily activities, remind everyone about important events and share helpful learning links. Class Dojo is an important part of our classroom community, so don't miss out!
I can't wait to get to know you, and I'm looking forward to a successful year!
Please feel free to email me or message me on Class Dojo anytime with questions or concerns.
