Grade 3

Do ordinary things with extraordinary love - Mother Teresa

About Me

My name is Mrs. Hosein and I grew up in Toronto. I am an Early Childhood Educator, have a degree in Business and a master of Science in Education. I taught Grade 3 in CCS before and grade 2/3 last year and previously taught Grade 4 at an International Baccalaureate School in Barbados for 4 years. I love teaching, learning, reading, math, science, the arts and…I am so excited this year to be teaching Grade 3 again!

My personal philosophy is to: “Share Life, Learning and Laughter”. I strive to enrich and support students through their inquiries into deeper understanding of concepts, make connections with global perspectives, as well as provide engaging learning opportunities along with utilizing core values and Catholic beliefs.
