All About Ms. Guercio
 
Hello, and welcome to 2nd grade in Room 40.  I am Ms. Guercio.  I have the pleasure of teaching your children and the honor of being an important part of their lives!
 
I am starting my 9th year in the Norwin School District, and couldn't be more excited to be working with your children!  I love it here because everyone loves what they do, and are super enthusiastic about our students and their success!  I started out as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, which meant that I taught English to students, from other countries, who did not speak much English.  The last few years, I have moved between 2nd and 3rd grade. This year, I will be teaching 2nd grade.
 
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood education at Point Park University, where I also played basketball, volleyball, and softball.  Later, I became certified in English as a Second Language, Secondary English, and Middle School Math.  Finally, I attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  My 17 years of teaching experiences have span across all areas of my certifications, at some point in my career!  I have had many wonderful teaching opportunities, worked with many amazing teachers and administrators, and have loved every minute of my time with my students!
 
When I'm not in school, most of my time is spent with my family.   I have 2 boys who will both be in college in the fall, one at Penn State University and the other at West Virginia University.  My oldest is studying to become a Mechanical Engineer.  My youngest is on track to become a chiropractor.   
 
I'm looking forward to another wonderful school year with all of your children, as well as getting to know their families!!  Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime if you have any questions or concerns.  I'm here to engage your child in his/her learning  experience while fostering a positive environment of respect in which they can feel safe and confident to explore the world around them!
