Senorita Ramos - Kindergarten Spanish World

Ms. Burns - Kindergarten English World

Hello, My name is Christine Burns and this is my 8th year teaching kindergarten at North Chatham. I am from upstate N.Y., Saratoga Springs, but have been living in North Carolina for about 17 years. I love it down south and I love teaching kindergarten. It is rewarding to watch the students grow and learn throughout the kindergarten year. I have enjoyed watching the students make connections in both of their languages.

Mrs. Otwell - 1st Grade English World I am Karen Otwell. I was born and raised in New York. I moved to North Carolina 16 years ago to start my teaching career and find a new home at North Chatham. I received my undergraduate degree at Plattsburgh State University in New York and then continued my education to earn a masters degree in literacy from the University of North Carolina. Teaching the students of North Chatham is my passion. My students amaze me everyday with their kind hearts, wonderful humor, and their excitement for learning. I look forward to the pleasure of working with you and your child in the dual language program.
