Meet Your Teacher

Mrs. Michele Breslin

     Hello !  My name is Michele Breslin and I teach 7th and 8th grade math classes.  This is my 5th year teaching at Saint Bernadette and my 21 st year of teaching overall.  Throughout my teaching career I have taught math and science to both middle and high school students in both Catholic and public school settings.
     My goal as a math teacher is to remove the mystery and fear that is associated with math and show students that understanding how to use math allows them to have power as a person.  By this I mean that they can utilize the operations of math and geometric principles to understand and participate in
REAL -WORLD applications of math - money, shopping, design of structures, sports statistics, designing computer games, and the list goes on and on.  Mathematics by definition is the science of numbers and their operations, interraltions, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space and its configurations, and their structure, measurement, transformations and generalizations.( Merriam Webster)   This definition sounds scary to most people!    In our classes, students will see math as a way to gain knowledge of and utilize the numbers associated with data and quantities that they use everyday- not be scared. 
     Here are some personal facts so you can get to know me better:
     *  I received both my bachelor's and master's degrees from St. Joseph's University
     *  I have lived in Drexel Hill for almost 25 years, but I grew up in NJ
     *  I have been married to my husband, Mike, for almost 25 years and have 2 daughters-Caitlyn and Abbey
     *  I have a Golden retriever named Goldie
     *  I love sports, gardening, travel, cooking and being outdoors with my family
