My name is

Ms. McDonald

I am from Arlington, Virginia.

A fun fact about me is that I went to elementary, middle, and high school in Arlington!

My favorite children’s book is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.

My favorite place to visit is Hilton Head, South Carolina.

I feel included when people care about how I am doing, check in on me, and want the best for me.

I enjoy teaching students about the C.A.R.E.S. trait of empathy.

My hope for this school year is that my students and I will create strong, meaningful relationships with each other.

My dream for this school year is that each and every one of my students feels included, supported, and confident in and out of the classroom.
