Meet Ms. Barry - Your Child's Biggest Champion! |
.Hello my name is Ms. Luciann Barry and I am your child's E.I.P Teacher this year in either reading or math. It is my distinct honor and privilege to have this wonderful opportunity to work with your priceless gifts - your children. There is one thing that you absolutely MUST know about me it is that I am very PASSIONATE about learning and DEDICATED to helping your child discover the elements of excellence within them, so that they can achieve success throughout their learning experiences. I am so proud that this is my 18th year in the field of education, nine of which have been as a teacher at New Prospect. To this date I have taught every grade with the exception of Kindergarten, and I am still enjoying the pure joy of having a front row seat at the table each time my students learn something new and experience those "AHA Moments." Those special times still help to fuel my deep love for teaching. I am originally from the paradise Island nation of St. Thomas U.S.V.I, but have lived on the mainland for over 25 years. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Developmental Psychology and Speech Pathology & Audiology from Andrews University in 1993 and earned a Masters in Education degree from Hampton University in 1998. I have one sibling, an older sister Bernadette who is 21 (YES) years older than me, and lives in NYC with her two adult children my niece Natasha and my nephew Oslyn. I enjoy a wide range of hobbies which vary from being an avid reader, journaling/writing, cooking, hosting dinner parties and outings with my friends. I also LOVE to travel, and anything artsy; like catching a great show, musical, play, concert, or just watching a captivating movie. In addition, to all of these great things I enjoy listening to wonderful inspirational music, and I am an active member in my local church and community. One of my favorite pastimes is watching "Reality T.V. shows," (not all of them just a few of the greats) like "Survivor," "The Amazing Race," and my summer favorite "Big Brother." As for the teacher in me, my expectations are set very high for all of my students, and my philosophy is quite simple and expresses my core belief, which all of my students learn on day ONE. It is that "You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To Do." This is the cornerstone and driving force of my teaching. Understanding that all children are uniquely different, learn in uniquely differently ways, and the path to achieving true understanding and mastery of any skill happens in little steps.
