Cathy DuToit - 3rd Grade

As the daughter of a teacher (my dad) and a lawyer (my mom), I've always had a deep desire to learn and to teach. After "subbing" in Boise and Meridian for a few years, I signed my first contract when my youngest child was in fifth grade; my first assignment was Maple Grove School, and I've been here ever since. I am thrilled that two of my grandsons are also part of this wonderful school, as second and fourth grade students.

My undergraduate degree is in Language Arts from Cal Poly, Pomona, and my Masters degree is in Teaching Through the Arts from Lesley College. Despite this background, the subject that I most enjoy teaching is mathematics--probably because of all the hands-on materials (toys!) that can be used to build concepts. Beyond the classroom, I have also enjoyed several opportunities to conduct workshops (in fractions, bases, and the abacus) at state and national conferences.

I appreciate the opportunities that my life in Boise has given me, and I hope to enjoy teaching here at Maple Grove for several years to come. It's a great place to be!
