Cassie Connolly, Pre-Kindergarten
Degree: Currently pursuing her teaching degree
Teaching Experience: She has been teaching Pre-K since 2015 and a Nursery teacher's aide since September 2023. A Little Bit About Me: Mrs. Connolly was born and raised in LeRoy. When she is not teaching, she loves to spend time with her family, going on camping adventures, reading, and spending time in her garden. She held a position on the board while her son attended Sunshine and his progress and love for the school, led her to apply for the Pre-K teacher position. She loves our preschooler's enthusiasm, motivation to learn, and sense of wonder. She encourages learning with hands on play, classroom experiments, field trips, and lots of fun activities to help prepare them for their upcoming learning adventures. |
