Mrs. Matte

I am thrilled to teach sixth grade language arts at Tom Cox Intermediate this year!  This is my second year working at TCI and I hope you enjoy this school as much as I do.  I have a Bachelor of Arts from Fordham University and a Master of Science in Education from Long Island University.

​

I am originally from Long Island, New York, and moved to the Houston area with my husband and two daughters almost six years ago. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, go to the movies and visit art museums. I enjoy cheering for my New York sports teams and watching my newly adopted Texans.  

 

I also love to read and write!  I try to write in my journal as often as I can. I read my beloved New York Times newspaper everyday and discover new books to read often.  A great book that I read over the summer was The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy.  It's a funny fantasy adventure that takes on traditional fairy tale characters and completely upends what we know about them.  I read this book aloud to my daughters and laughed so much as we read it.  Put this one on your "must read" list!
