Hello and Welcome to Room 3/Mrs. Sue's Preschool Class!

I am excited to partner with new and returning families.  I welcome and appreciate on-going parent communication.  No question too small!  I welcome meetings, phone call conferences, and email messages as needed, so that we may partner in your child's education and overall development. 

More info about me:  

I am an integrated preschool teacher at North Grafton Elementary School and have been teaching in the G.P.S. District for more than 30 years.  My experience includes summer months at a residential center, teaching in an elementary resource room, and grades 1-3, with most of my 30 years happily in preschool.  I hold a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Fitchburg State College/University.  I am certified in MA in Early Childhood Education, Moderate Special Education, and as Teacher of Young Children with Special Needs.  For many years, I have been a member of the MA Down Syndrome Congress Education Task Force, whose vision includes a focus on engagement of all students utilizing current and best educational practice and research.  I contributed to the MDSC published manual on Meaningful Inclusion. My passion for teaching includes a particular interest with vocabulary and language acquisition, interactive story read alouds, and STEAM initiatives. 

I live with my husband and two young adult daughters and love family time!  Our family has added a new member, our labrador retriever puppy, Otter!  I love attending weekly Latin Fitness/Zumba and tap dance classes, as well as, daily dessert  & (chocolate) snack time!
