All About Ms. Gravel
Hi! My name is Laura Gravel. This will be my eighth year teaching kindergarten in Howard County and at Veterans Elementary. Before that, I taught kindergarten in Baltimore County for eight years. Kindergarteners are amazing and they make me smile everyday! I can't imagine teaching anything else!
When I was younger, I lived in New York. On Long Island to be specific. So, I went to kindergarten and all through school on Long Island. When it was time to go to college, I moved to Maryland to attend Towson State University (as it was called when I was in school). Maryland was such a wonderful place to live, so I decided to stay here to teach. I have a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education from Towson State and a Masters in Reading Education from Towson University as well.
When I'm not teaching I enjoy going to school and learning. I've taken many classes in the area of Special Education. I also enjoy running and try to run a few 5K's and 10K's with my fiance each year. But, my biggest hobby is my house. I enjoy decorating, gardening, organizing and cleaning. I also enjoy traveling to visit family and friends. This summer I visited New York City, Austin TX, Long Island NY, Buffalo NY, Canada, and South Carolina. Boy am I glad summer is over! Now, I just have a trip planned for December - I'll be visiting my brother in Boston. And another trip in January - to Las Vegas! My fiance and I are getting married there!! I can't wait! Soon you'll have to call me Mrs. Grassi!
