Hi my name is Mrs. Rachel Tomczak and I am excited to be your child's Kindergarten Teacher! This is my 20th year as a teacher and my 17th year as part of the Aura Elementary School Family. I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 4th Grade BSI and 1st/2nd Grade Math/Literacy. Kindergarten has always been my passion and favorite grade to teach! (Shh don't tell the others!)
In 2006 I graduated from West Chester University in Pennsylvania with my degree in elementary education. Go Rams! After college, I came back home to New Jersey, where I started my first teaching job as a kindergarten teacher.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family! My husband, John and I have two amazing daughters, who I talk about a lot! Heather is 13 and going into 8th grade, Maggie is 11 and going into 6th grade. They keep us busy with girl scouts, dance, tennis and skiing! (Mr. Tomczak and the girls ski, I just make the hot cocoa and watch). We love to go on family adventures and love to camp in our camper! We have lots of fun pets at our house. 2 dogs Vera and Maple, 2 turtles Crush and Squirt, frogs (Jermiah Jr. Jr., Gribbit and Kermit) and lots of fish in our pond and fish tanks.
