About Me

I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my Bachelor`s Degree in Education and a minor in Exceptional Education. I have a rescue Border Collie named Parker Alexander Levin (PAL) :). My favorite sporting teams are the Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, the Astros and of course my UCF Knights. I have had years of experience teaching! This is my 7th year teaching at Ben Gamla Charter School. I absolutely LOVE being a teacher. I strive to engage students through hands-on activities, differentiated instruction, and of course with the incredible technology that we have at our school! Teaching is extremely rewarding and it is amazing to see my student`s growth throughout the year.

Ms. Shapiro`s Wonderland Update

Hello!! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I am looking forward to our second week of school and getting to know more about my amazing class! Please remember to send your child with a jacket and water bottle to class. It does get pretty cold in our classroom and we may have some rain tomorrow. Sending your child with a water bottle will also be helpful in case it does decide to rain on us. I don`t want any students running to the fountain. :) If you have not returned any signed forms, please send them in tomorrow. I am still missing a few contact sheets that were sent home in the Wednesday folders. Also, we will be using our school agenda everyday during the week. Please make sure your child has one. 

 Last week we began to label all of our folders and interactive notebooks. I was able to find additional notebooks for students if they were missing certain ones. :) Please let me know if you have any questions.Have a great Sunday night!!!

 Love,

 Ms. Shapiro
