Third Grade Maria Koster » About Me

About Me

I am so happy to be part of the Cranbury community! I have been working at Cranbury School for the past 22 years. I have spent 21 of those years teaching 3rd grade.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Teaching with a focus on literacy.  I love teaching third grade, and I am very excited to work with you this year!
 
I believe that every child is a unique individual that has the right to learn in a safe and secure environment. Every child must be encouraged and supported to work to the best of his/her ability. It is a teacher’s responsibility to find ways to reach all students. Ultimately, a teacher’s goal is to help each student grow academically, emotionally, and socially, and to instill in each child a lifelong love of learning. We must help prepare our students acquire the knowledge they will need to be successful in their future endeavors.
