All About Mrs. Lowden
Earning an Education
I graduated from University of Maryland at College Park in 2006. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in both mathematics and social studies. While teaching, I earned my Master's Degree from Towson University in 2012. My Master's Degree is in Elementary Education with a focus on gifted and talented education.
Teaching the Youth
After graduating college, I taught for six years in Montgomery County, MD. I spent five years with enthusiastic third graders, and one year with enthralling fifth graders. There was a two year hiatus from teaching, when I spent time at home with my growing family and relocated to Loudoun County. I am beginning my first year at Steuart Weller Elementary School, and I could not be any more excited to be a Wild Cat!
Getting Personal
I love spending time with my husband, two girls, and family dog, Murphy. We enjoy sightseeing around the metro DC area, and taking advantage of all the sights around us. Some weekends this may just be a stroll to the nearby park. Some of my favorite things include chocolate, a good book, and sunny days. Since learning is a life-long endeavor, I have started to study gardening and how to grow various vegetables in the back yard. I do not have a green thumb yet...more like chartreuse!
