Hello, my name is Anne Marie Crosby, and I'm a kindergarten teacher at Urbana Elementary.

I taught first grade for 6 years and then moved to kindergarten where I have been teaching for the past seventeen years.  Responsibilities that I have held include team leader, mentor teacher, and targeted math intervention.  I was named to Who's Who in American Education in 2006.

I believe all children want to learn and are eager to discover new things about their world.  I enjoy guiding young children in their discoveries and teaching them new strategies to help them understand and build their knowledge of the world.

My education includes a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and a M.A. in Elementary Math and Science from Hood College.

I can be contacted by phone, handwritten notes or by email.  Please send notes to school in your child's blue communication folder.

I was born in Maryland and am married to Norman D. Crosby Jr.  We are the proud parents of three beautiful daughters.  I enjoy reading, gardening and spending time with my family.
