Fifth Grade: Mrs. Marge Barbagallo
Grade 5: Mrs. Marge Barbagallo
My name is Marge Barbagallo and I am beginning my 39th year as an educator. Twenty four of those years have been at Christ the King School. Obviously I love what I do! I have taught grades kindergarten through 8th and am always asked what grade I like the best. It really doesn’t matter to me. I enjoy working with children and love to see the progress they make.
My educational goal is to inspire my students in every way possible. I like to create a welcoming environment which makes learning enjoyable. I expect every student to come prepared to learn, to follow directions and listen carefully as they try to do their best. I actively listen to each student in my class and support them in every care and concern. In addition, I teach my students to work as a team so that every child’s gifts are valued.
Sincerely,
Mrs. M. Barbagallo
