Welcome to Kindergarten with Miss Masella. I am very excited to be teaching Kindergarten again. At Maple Hill Elementary school, we follow the 5 be's! We will always Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Kind, Be Peaceful and Be Cooperative! 

 

When I am not in my classroom, I can be found playing tennis, reading books  and spending time at my lake house. I try to spend as much time with my family as possible, because they are very important to me. In this school year, I can't wait to learn and grow along with the children in my classroom! 

 

I have a passion for teaching. I knew that I wanted to be a teacher from the time that I was in 1st grade. I would always look up to my teachers, and wanted to be just like them. As a child, my stuffed animals were always "my" students, and I found so much enjoyment in teaching them! Now that I am teaching, I still have the same joy and excitement each and every day! 

I love working at Maple Hill Elementary school.  Every day I am surrounded by amazing students, staff and families! I am very lucky that each day I wake up and get to work in such an amazing place!
