Hello Room 103 families! I am happy to introduce myself as your child's classroom teacher. My name is Ms. Maureen, Maureen Bontempo. I have two wonderful paraprofessionals who work with your children as hard as I do, Ms. Wen. And Mr. Antionio. We are a great team! Just a little about myself: I have been a Perth Amboy district employee since September 2014. I hold New Jersey Certification in Special Education (Grades Preschool-12th Grade), General Education P-3 (Preschool to 3rd grade), and General Education Kindergarten-6th grade. My highest level of education is a Masters Degree from Monmouth University, in Early Childhood Education. My motto is learn to play; play to learn. Once children learn to play, their little minds grow in so many ways. In our classroom, we are always singing, dancing, laughing, and exploring new concepts. Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime. I look forward to collaborating with you.
