My name is Courtney Ferraro and this is my seventeenth year teaching at Burnet Hill. I previously taught second grade for eight years and spent seven years teaching fifth grade, one year teaching fourth grade and now I'm back in fifth grade!! It's always so exciting to start a new school year! I graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I received my Masters in Teaching from Marygrove University. I have two children, Makayla and Nicholas. Makayla is going to be thirteen years old in November and is starting 7th grade! Nicholas (Chico) will be eleven years old in April and is starting 5th grade! I have one pug named Daisy Ming Ming (Makayla named Daisy!) I also have two "foster" kitties that were supposed to go to other families, but we ended up keeping these babies!! Kit Mom is 2 years old and T Bone is 1 year old! You will hear many stories about my family and crazy pets throughout the year!! My favorite color is blue and I love Jolly Ranchers and Dunkin Donuts coffee!!! We are going to have a GREAT year!!! I can't wait to get started!!
