All About Mrs. Gatley

This is my seventeenth year teaching second grade for the Hamburg Area School District. I am proud to say that I am a graduate of the Hamburg Area School District. After high school, I attended Kutztown University where I received my degree in elementary education.  After much hard work, I later earned my Master's of Education from Kutztown University. When I have free time I really enjoy reading, camping, hiking, and going on adventures. I love to read and I read every day. I read children's books to my own children and books written for an older audience to myself. Personally, I am always trying to improve, so I try to foster that same attitude with my students as well. My absolute FAVORITE thing to do is spend time with my family and my friends.  I live in the district with my husband, three young children, and our three pets.

Here a few of my favorite things. I enjoy learning about my students' favorite things throughout the year.
