Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Lauren Silsbee and I have been teaching for six years with Newport News Public Schools. For five years I taught third grade and  this year I looped up with my students to fourth grade. During my third year teaching I had the opportunity to pilot the Talented and Gifted program at our school and have really enjoyed working with the gifted classes. 

I have been married to my high school sweet heart, Rob, for six years. We met in middle school and reconnected in high school when our dads were stationed at the same Marine Corps base. We have a small little family with our six month old son and our six year old puggle!

I have always had a passion for reading, and this opportunity to shift career gears with the Library Science endorsement came at just the right time for me! I look forward to getting to working with everyone and getting to know you all as we begin this journey together!
