Laurie Dyer
By Nila

Laurie Dyer is my teacher who was born on February 25, 1971.  She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.  When she was a girl, she loved to play school, played piano, cello and tennis.  She helped her mom in the kitchen and her dad in the garden in her spare time.  When she is not in school, she and Mr. Dyer love playing with their son, Jack. She loves to cook for Mr. Dyer and her friends.  She loves to walk and shop, like her mother.  She hates to clean the bathrooms!  Her most important accomplishment was being nominated for Fairfax County Teacher of the Year in 2002.  She finds technology like computers, cable, and VCR to be the most interesting change in her life.  She misses her grandma.  She wants everyone to keep learning forever and love each and every day.

Hi there! I came to the United States from India in 1987. I lived in California and Texas before I came to Virginia in 1989. I worked as a translator and interpreter in Hindi and French for many years and then started teaching Hindi to State department staff and  DOD staff and families before they were transferred to India. I joined Navy as a special education IA and then came to Kindergarten. I love working with Kindergarteners .In my free time I love to cook and try new recipes. I read a lot of books and watch TV too. I live in Fairfax with my husband and my two children Kedar and Radhika. I dream of traveling around the world!
