About Me

Erin Watson
Grade 3
Bachelor of Arts, University of New Hampshire
M.Ed. Lesley College

When I was younger, my grandfather always told me, "You should become a teacher." I scoffed at this idea, seeing myself doing something much more glamorous. After graduating from college with an English major, I couldn't find the right job. I worked in public relations and retail, neither of which were glamorous or very rewarding. I quit my job one day with nothing on the horizon. I became a substitute teacher, and realizing that my grandfather had perhaps been right all along, I frantically applied to graduate school and completed my degree. I have never regretted the decision.

I have been teaching at Wheelock for 27 years. I am married with 2 children of my own... Timothy (23) and Caroline (21), a college senior. Mr. Watson and I live in Wrentham. In my free time I love to READ, walk my dog Finnegan, and I belong to a book club.




I really enjoy my time in the classroom. Every year, every day is different... each with its own set of challenges and laughs with my students.  And I have come to find out there is actually glamour in teaching!  Each year I dress up as any number of things to keep my third graders' attention!
