Hello there! My name is Mrs. Murphy and I will be teaching 4th grade ELA and Social Studies this year. We are departmentalized in 4th grade and my co-teacher Mrs. Harris will be covering Math and Science. We have got a very exciting year planned!
This will be by 10th year in education. I have been with Bloomsburg Area School District for eight of those years as a Reading Specialist in grades 3rd-5th. Reading is my jam! Here is a little glimse at my educational background:
When I am not teaching, you can find me running (I love participating in fun 5K & half marathon events for charities), doing stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga, or playing with my goldendoodle puppy, Barkley. My husband and I "adopted" Barkley for our 2nd wedding anniversary this past May and he has been keeping us on our toes ever since! Fun fact-- Barkley was named after Saquon Barkley, a great player from Penn State-- my favorite college football team!
A few other of my favorite things include: picture books, writing, coffee, Target, Chik-Fil-A, DIY projects at home, visiting the beach, and wood-working for my small business, "The Murphy Market"!
I can't wait to get to know you and work with you this year, whether you are an incoming student or a parent/caretaker! I know that TOGETHER we will have a GREAT year!
