Carolyn+C

Hi, my name is Carolyn Cosgrove. I teach 5th grade at Travell School in Ridgewood, NJ. This is going to be my sixt year teaching fifth grade and I love it. I enjoy working with my students, helping them to learn and grow, and hearing all of their funny stories. My favorite subject to teach is math and I really enjoy Reading Aloud stories to my students and hearing their thoughts and ideas.
