Greetings!  My name is Cynthia Cooper, and this is my 17th year teaching at OHES.  I have had the pleasure of teaching both preschool and second grade at Orchard.  I have my Teacher of the Handicapped degree and my Masters in Early Education.  I enjoy working with the students in my classroom, and finding fun and innovative ways to teach new concepts.  I am particularly passionate about increasing vocabulary, making math fun and understandable, and nurturing active learning!  I can't wait to work with my students and their families to make this an exciting and successful year!
