Hi, 4th Grade!
My name is Ted Dolan, and I am SO EXCITED to be your teacher this year!
I recently graduated from Saint Joseph's Univeristy in Philadelphia, PA. I studied communications and psychology, and I'm now on track to get my Master's in education from there within the next few years. I worked in the STC Child Care from 2017-2020, doing the summer camp and helping in the preschool classrooms whenever I could. It's what inspired me to become a teacher! Last year was my first year as a full-time teacher in 5th grade. This will be my second year as a teacher, but my first year teaching 4th grade. I hope you are all as excited as I am to get started!
Whenever I'm not working, I love being on the water (in any form!), riding my longboard, kickboxing, exploring new cities, or binge watching any of my favorite shows/movies. Some of my favorite things to watch are Stranger Things, Below Deck, and any Marvel movies. You'll have to tell me all of your favorite things to watch!
I'm also a huge fan of music! Above is a picture of me and Lady Gaga at her concert in 2017. We will be incorporating as much music into the classroom as we can this year. Get ready for lots of good tunes!!
I spent most of this past summer in San Diego, California exploring the beaches and having fun on the water! Some of my favorite things that I did were whale watching, snorkeling, hiking, biking, and eating lot's of good food! I know I'll be talking a lot about my trip, but I also can't wait to hear about all of the incredible things that you have done over your break as well.
I can't wait to get to know all of you!
