About Mrs. Dayeh: I have been teaching elementary school in the New Orleans area for 12 years. This is my sixth year teaching third grade at Lusher. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature from the State University of New York (Geneseo) and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of New Orleans. I also studied at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, for one year as an undergraduate, and am also a certified school librarian. I decided to become a teacher in the U.S. after my experiences teaching English in public schools across Japan, where I lived for four years. I currently live in New Orleans with my husband, Hazim, son Zade (age 9- a Lusher 4th grader), and daughter Nora (age 5- Lusher kindergartener). I am truly thrilled to be part of the educational community at Lusher, and also to teach third grade, which is definitely my favorite grade level to teach!
