The Mahopac Central School District has seen an influx of highly qualified new teachers this year. We will introduce them through a monthly feature in Mahopac Matters.
Jessica Morelli came to Mahopac from New York City, where she taught for eight years. She now co-teaches kindergarten with Kristin Voorhis at Austin Road Elementary.
"I knew that I wanted to teach kindergarten ever since I was in kindergarten," said Morelli. "I love to do small group activities because each child learns in a different way and that makes you meet the students where they are. We incorporate hands-on activities, technology, and anyway that I can keep them moving because that helps them stay focused."
