Hello Future Second Graders, 

      Welcome back to Oak Tree Elementary!  My name is Mrs. Zappolo or “Mrs. Z.”  and I am looking forward to meeting the students who will be part of our Room 7 community.

I have been quite busy preparing for your arrival.  

       Here are a few interesting facts about me: See how many you can remember for a fun first day game: 

• I have been teaching for 13 years.  I taught grades 5 and 6, Pre-K and Kindergarten.
• I live in Morganville, NJ and grew up in Brooklyn, New York.
• There are four people in my family. 
• My favorite snack is anything chocolate.
• I love to read books in my spare time.
• This summer I traveled to Alaska, Seattle, Ocean City and went on a Caribbean Cruise.
• My favorite subject in school was science.
• As a child I had 1 dogs and two cats (all at one time.)
• My family loves baseball.  We are Met fans.  
• When I was in second grade, my favorite author was by Beverly Cleary.

We will learn more about each other during the first weeks of school.
