Hello!  My name is Andrea Donovan. I have been teaching at Barrett since 1995. After many years of regular classroom teaching in K, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, I moved to the English Learner (EL) department where I primarily support language learners in kindergarten. Helping students at this age communicate and learn is so rewarding! Through opportunities connected to Dr. Laurie Sullivan and her Discovery Lab at Barrett, I have had the great fortune to participate in many NASA related activities. Some highlights are studying robotics at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA and performing a second grade experiment on NASA’s Reduced Gravity Jet in Houston, TX.   I love being part of a school that promotes STEM learning!   I also work with the Washington-Liberty Color Guard in the Fall and Winter.  I look forward to teaching  your students!
