Hello, my name is Carmen Dodd and I am lucky enough to be part of Room 13 for the last 5 weeks of term 1.

I am a third year student at the University of Canterbury College of Education.

I enjoy seeing students succeed and move forward in their learning. I look forward to learning from them as well as teaching them.

I have met a number of parents during the week and look forward to meeting others as you pass through the classroom.
