Hi! ... My name is Heidy Roman and I am your child's Fourth Grade Gifted Teacher. My teaching career started in the Fall of 2000. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Reading & Curriculum Instruction. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every minute I have spent in the classroom. In 2004, I was voted our school's Teacher of the Year! My strengths in the classroom are Reading, Writing, & Grammar. I love to create thematic units and engaging lessons. I also enjoy introducing the children to new authors and genre. I do my best to enrich children's learning experiences through thought and inquiry in our daily discussion. Furthermore, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful projects for my students by integrating technology and content as often as possible. There is something about the curiosity and energy that young children exhibit that keeps me motivated and passionate about teaching. My goal as an educator, is to foster different learning styles, encourage creativity and critical thinking. My main goals in the classroom this year is to maintain my enthusiasm and energy towards learning. Hopefully, I can pass that onto my students.

          When I am not in the classroom, I love to spend time with my beautiful family. I am a mommy of three.  I have a 13 year old daughter named Gabriella, a 6 year old son named Jorge Luis, and a 4 year old daughter named Isabella. My hobbies include taking pictures, shopping, scrap booking, craft shows, decorating, collecting Precious Moments (I currently own over 250 pieces) and working on our website (obviously). I am also the person responsible for our school's website. Finally, on my free time, I love to read books! My favorite children's authors are Roald Dahl, and Kate DiCamillo, just to name a few.
