MR. POLLOCK~
|
A native Washingtonian,
I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, a small town about 60 miles
north of Seattle. Other than my college years in Nebraska and a year
living and teaching in Indianapolis, IN, I've been in western Washington my entire
life. This is my twelfth year of teaching; my second at Newcastle
Elementary. My teaching
experience runs the gamut from Basic Skills to Gifted and Talented; from
1st to 5th grade; from single-grade to multiage.
Prior to coming to Newcastle, I taught
in Indianapolis and Federal Way. I live in
Seattle. |
