Mrs. Slavin

This is my twenty-sixth year teaching.  I graduated from Monmouth College in 1993.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree as Teacher of the Handicap K-12.  I taught my first year at a private school named Children's Day School.  I then taught five years at Crichton Elementary School in a Self-Contained classroom. The following six years, I taught for a specialized program named CARES, in which I provided education for children that had temporarily left the surrounding school districts. The next four years, I taught an anti-bullying program for Campfire of New Jersey in the surrounding tri-state area. Finally, I became a part of the teaching staff in Hamilton Township.  The first several years, I was a Resource Room Teacher at Lalor Elementary.  I later became a Multi-Sensory Reading teacher at Kisthardt, Morgan, Yardville, Steinert and now Reynolds.
