Mrs. Barth: This is my 18th year of teaching.  This is my 13th year at the Stratton School!  I have also taught first and second grade; but I just adore teaching grade 3!  Third grade  was my favorite year in school and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!  My favorite curriculum units are; Colonial Times, Multiplication, Literature Circles, and the Planets.  I  love cheering on the Red Sox with my family!   We love playing sports in our backyard and reading together each day!  
Mrs. Lees: I have been teaching in Arlington since 2002.  This is my fifth year teaching third grade at Stratton.  Before that, I taught fourth grade here for a couple years.   Since earning my certification in the mid 90s,  I have taught sixth, fifth, fourth, and third grade, as well as middle school English.  I love teaching third grade, it's the BEST!  My husband Eric and I have three children, 14, 11, and 4.  Aidan is starting at AHS this fall, Daisy is starting at OMS, and William is in his last year of pre school.  Creative writing with students is one of my favorite things to teach.  Personally, I also love to run and practice yoga.   I grew up near Chicago but I just love Arlington!  I've lived in Massachusetts for twenty-one years, and Arlington for ten.
