Hello, all! I am Ms. Castelli, and welcome you to virtual 406 for the 2020 - 2021 school year. This year, I teach Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Brookdale English 121, and Brookdale English 122. Throughout the school year, please see the Google Classroom pages set up for each class period for all updates and assignments.

A few facts to know :)

• This is my 15th year teaching at Matawan Regional High School.
• I have studied at both Rutgers University and Monmouth University, earning my Ed.M. in English Education from Rutgers and my M.A. in English Literature from Monmouth.
• I teach at Monmouth University in addition to MRHS.
• When I'm not teaching and reading, I'm spending time with my son, Dominic, or outside hiking, exploring, or practicing yoga.

As I tell my students often, let us have a school year where we practice being critical thinkers and kind humans. And more than ever, let's practice patience with each other as the school year looks different. It looks different, but we will smile, learn, read, think, and accomplish much growth, just as always.
