WOW! Can you believe another school
year is here already? This is going to be such an exciting year and I cannot
wait to get started! My name is Cathy Dao and I am your child’s second grade teacher for this
year. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you more about myself. I
strongly believe that it is essential for parents to know as much about their
child’s teacher as possible!
Last
fall I student taught here at Roberts under the supervision of Ms. Heemer (4th grade teacher) and went on to
graduate from the University of Houston in December with a major in elementary
education. Right after graduation, I filled in as a long-term substitute teacher in the Science Lab while
Ms. Savarese was out on maternity leave. I
have spent two summers teaching overseas in Vietnam and Cambodia and really enjoy
incorporating elements from different cultures into my lessons. During my time
in college, I also had an opportunity to work at First Steps Montessori (St.
John’s) as a teacher's assistant.
I absolutely love teaching and could not imagine myself doing anything else! It is truly my passion! I cannot wait to start this exciting and successful year! If you have any questions or ever need to contact me, please do not hesitate to email me at cdao@houstonisd.org. I will try my best to get back to you within 24 hours. You can also find classroom information here on our class blog. Thank you for all that you do for your child! I know that we will have an outstanding year together!
