About the Teacher
Hello. I am Ms. Christine Chaney. This is my second year of teaching fourth grade at Family Foundations Academy. Previously, I taught third, fourth, and fifth grade in Baltimore, Maryland and I taught third grade for ten years at another charter school in Wilmington, Delaware. My alma mater is the University of Delaware in which I received a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Instruction. My philosophy is "Every Child Will Learn." Working with Dr. Brewington, Mr. Moore and the rest of the staff at F.F.A. is a dream come true.
