Greetings!

My name is Fatima Johara. I am currently teaching grade 4 at a private school in Queens, New York. I graduated from NYIT in 2008 as a Business Administration major and started teaching that same year. I never thought about teaching but over the past few years, I realized this is something I really enjoy. It gives me a sense of fulfillment. That’s I decided to start my Masters in this field. I teach the five major subjects: Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Of all the subjects I teach, my favorite is Science and Social Studies. I also enjoy teaching Math, especially when we have hands on activities. Some of my hobbies are watching movies, cooking, doing arts and crafts and shopping online. My husband I have two kittens named Tom (boy) and Jerry (girl).

If I were to write a book about myself, I would name it “The Other Me.” My students are always curious about my life and what I do when I’m not teaching. I guess an autobiography would be a good place to start. One of my favorites jokes is “What do you call cheese that is not yours?....NACHO CHEESE :D One of my students told me this joke recently and it gave me a good laugh. :)
