"My name is Carol Anne Paraskevaides. I received my Bachelor’s degree in early childhood from the University of Rhode Island, and my Masters in education at Western Connecticut State University. This will be my 30th year teaching. I taught K-2nd for 17 years and third grade for the last 13 years. I have a true love and passion for teaching. Helping each child progress in all areas of their development is what I strive for. I promote a positive, fun environment where each child is engaged and excited about learning. I specialize in reading and writing support. My student’s state test scores in both ELA and math reflect my experience and success in these areas."
