Gifted Resource Curriculum Night Kyrene de los Cerritos Room 25 WELCOME

Ms. Marie Bialorucki (bye-lore-rookie) Professional: I have been teaching for the past 17 years, and I have taught primarily Math/ELA for the past 10 years. I have 7 years experience teaching Gifted students and I hope to inspire a great desire of learning for your child this year. I enjoy teaching all levels of students. I also have 9 years experience teaching GED students all subjects to gain their high school diplomas.

Ms. Marie Bialorucki Personal: I enjoy camping, water activities, hiking, volleyball, football, movies, reading, and kayaking. I really enjoy NFL football and play in a fantasy league with my family across 4 states. I am also a true blue ASU Sun Devils fan since that is my Alma Mater.

Does this look familiar?
