My name is Mr. Castle, and I am ecstatic to begin my sixth year as a full time teacher for the Chenango Forks School District! I currently hold an Associates Degree in Music Education, a Bachelors Degree in Childhood Education with a minor in English and masters in literacy. I completed my student teaching assignments in the Chenango Forks School District and the Binghamton City School District. I have served as a substitute for Harpursville Central School, Johnson City Central School, and Chenango Forks Central School. I spent the first 5 years at forks teaching first grade but am now starting a new adventure teaching fifth grade math! I love music, the Yankees, the New York Rangers, and spending time outdoors. I am also a collector of pets and currently have a tarantula, bearded dragon, two frogs, and two cats!

Every child comes with a fount of knowledge. Therefore, every child can find success in education, if this prior knowledge is accessed. As teachers, we can ensure the educational growth of all students by differentiating instruction, providing appropriate support and scaffolds, and building a safe and nurturing classroom community. Every child can Learn!
