My name is Brook Morello, and I will be teaching English Language Arts & Social Studies for the 2nd Grade at Oyster Creek Elementary! I began teaching 4th and 5th Grade Bilingual Self-Contained in 1995 in Galena Park ISD where I was a Rookie Teacher of the Year Finalist. In 1998, I was Teacher of the Year Finalist for Galena Park ISD. I've also taught 4th grade Dual Language in Houston ISD and K-5th Music for Pearland ISD. I have presented at several state and national science teacher conventions and have worked on the Texas Science Task Force, as well as textbook adoption committees. In 2000, I won a Shell Science Teacher Grant and worked overseas on an archeological dig in Mallorca, Spain.  I have always wanted to be two things in this life - a teacher and a mother - and I consider myself very blessed to have been both! I have a son in high school and a son and daughter that are each in college.

I absolutely love to read, and I can't wait to pass along that love to my 2nd graders! Reading is like getting to dream with your eyes open! You can go anywhere in a book, and you can be anything! You can even have life experiences that you might never get - all in the pages of a book! In my spare time, I like to make jewelry, scrapbooks, and travel. There is a whole wide world of places to go - even in our own backyard. On days off, my kids and I like to travel the Houston area and see some of the hidden gems that most people don't even know about - and there are so many!

This is my fifth year working at Oyster Creek Elementary! I can't wait to get this year started. This is bound to be quite a thrilling year for all of us. Thank you so much for entrusting your children to me and to Oyster Creek Elementary! Now, let's start our adventure, Blue Jays!!!
