About Ms. Parizon
Education:
I am a product of Catholic education!  I graduated from St. Linus Elementary School in Dearborn Heights and Ladywood High School in Livonia.  After high school, I went to Madonna University. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and an Elementary Education certificate.  After I completed my undergraduate work, I continued my education at Marygrove College, where I earned a Master of Arts in Teaching focusing on Elementary Math.
​Experience:
I taught 3rd grade at St. Damian Catholic School from 2002 until the parish (church and school) permanently closed in 2016.  I then went to Cabrini Elementary School where I was the 4th and 5th grade math teacher. I was also a 4th grade homeroom teacher that taught Reading and Religion to my homeroom class.  At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, I was the 4th and 5th grade math teacher, and I taught Religion and Language Arts to my homeroom as well.  This is my 18th year in Catholic Education.​
Family: 
My family lives in Livonia, Michigan. I have three children. My son is in the tenth grade and my twin daughters are in the 8th grade.  My parents live in Farmington Hills and my older brother lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I also have three cats!
​Free Time: 
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I enjoy traveling, but also just staying at home with a good book or watching movies with my kids.  During the fall months, I spend many Saturdays at the Big House rooting on the Wolverines. GO BLUE!
​Likes: 
Starbucks, reading BOOKS (not e-readers! I like to turn pages!),U of M, pizza, watching comedy or drama TV shows, the color BLUE, going up north to my family house on Elk Lake, and cats
​Dislikes:
When people are not kind, ranch dressing, sour cream, whales and other large salt water animals (they scare me!!!), the smell of lavender

Welcome to Grade 4!

Fourth grade is a fun year of learning!  In Science, we use hands-on activities and media experiences to study various aspects of rocks, sound, energy, and the human body.  We complete novel studies to make deeper connections of books.  We enhance our vocabulary by learning new words.  We continue to study mathematic operations and work to become mathematic thinkers.  Writing in all subjects helps to become better writers.  Our continued study of Michigan and American social studies helps us grow as citizens.  Our faith grows as we learn more about the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and Virtues.  Fourth grade is a great time of learning, building friendships with peers, and growing a deeper friendship with Jesus.
