Welcome to Fourth Grade

Miss Gidaro

     My name is Stephanie Gidaro. The 2014-2015 school year will be my fourth year teaching. I have been at Oakland Elementary my whole teaching career, and I love it here. I have taught fourth grade the past three years. I went to Boiling Springs High School and graduated in 2005. In addition, I'm a USC Upstate graduate.

More Fun Facts:

• Yes, my last name is a little different. It's Italian and it's really not that difficult to pronounce.
• One of the things I love to do is play with my wild and crazy nephew, Lincoln 3, and my sweet and lovable niece, Nora 4 months.  
• I played on my high school tennis team all through high school. I still love to play whenever I can!
• Chocolate is my absolute favorite food!
• The beach is my favorite vacation get away. 
• I'm an active member at my church First Baptist North Spartanburg.

     This is going to be a great year as we "Set Sail for Learning." I look forward to getting to know the new fourth grade group. It's truly a blessing to teach, and I can't wait to see what the year holds. We will be updating this blog throughout the year with pictures and information about what we will be learning. If you have any questions you can email me at Stephanie.Gidaro@spartanburg2.k12.sc.us.
