Hello parents and students. My name is Denise Gleaves. I've been teaching for 16 years. This is my eighth year at Benchley/Weinberger, and my sixth year at teaching kindergarten. My education includes:
- M.A. in Teaching with Reading Emphasis, National University
- B.A. in Liberal Studies, San Diego State University
- Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, San Diego State University
- Cross Cultural, Language, and Academic Development Certification
I grew up in beautiful Southern California. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My husband is a science teacher, my daughter is in sixth grade, and my son is in third grade. We love camping, surfing, exercising, and being out doors. I also love gardening, cooking, reading, and just being a mom.
I love working at Benchley/Weinberger with such an incredible staff, involved parents, and great students. I especially enjoy teaching kindergarten. It's truly a magical year.
