Maria Mallon

My name is Maria Mallon and this is my eighth year at Chets Creek and my twelfth year teaching. I am a Kindergarten/First Grade looping teacher and I just love it!! This year I am in First Grade. I find that by being with my students for two years, I get the advantage of knowing them and their parents better and get the added bonus of seeing major growth in each child's learning.

I live in Jacksonville Beach and have a husband and two dogs (a Chocolate Lab named Daisy and a Beagle named Bailey). I also have a hamster named Owen (that belonged to the class but we got used to it one Christmas break, and I never took it back to class!)
