Hi, my name is Dorette Gamble-Bennett and I am a first grade teacher at Magnolia Elementary, located in Lanham. I enjoy teaching first grade but my love is kindergarden which I taught for five years. This is my ninth year at Magnolia and I love it! I absoluted hated my first year in the Prince George's County Public School system because I came from a private preschool, in New York, and was placed in third grade when I got here. That was an experience I would not like to repeat. The next year I moved to kindergarten and realized that was my niche.

My goal is to become an expert in at least one thing so that I can intigrate it into my classroom. There is technology all around us and if I can learn at least one or even two things that I can use to reinforce or teach a new skill I will be a successful STEP graduate.
