Grade 3: Meet the Teachers

Brady Miller, 3rd grade teacher
I am so excited to be at Chevy Chase as a Cheetah! I grew up in Montgomery County and graduated from the University of Maryland (GO TERPS) with my Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in Elementary Special Education. I love shopping, hanging out with friends and family, traveling and watching Netflix.  I am looking forward to an incredible year at CCES! 
Alanna Rothman, 3rd grade teacher, Team Leader
I am originally from New Jersey and moved to Maryland after graduating from The University of Maryland, College Park!  I have my degree in Elementary Education with a subject specialty in mathematics.  My love for teaching began from an early age when I started teaching dance classes.  I have a passion for fitness and teach fitness classes at the gym after school.  I absolutely love spending time with my family and friends.  I can’t wait to make wonderful memories together at CCES!
Zamzam Salhan, 3rd grade teacherI am a proud third-grade teacher with a degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maryland, College Park. Teaching has always been my passion, and I love the joy of seeing the light bulb go off in students' heads as they discover new concepts. I have an extensive background in education. I mentored elementary students in high school and worked at an early education center throughout college. My teaching philosophy is every child needs a hug and a moment to breathe. Outside of teaching, you’ll find me reading, enjoying a good chai latte, crocheting, watching Turkish dramas, or spending time with my loved ones. I am so excited to be a part of the third-grade team at Chevy Chase ES.
