About Mrs. Caron

I graduated from Eastern Connecticut University in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in History and Social Sciences with my teaching certification. I returned to Eastern and graduated in 2010 with my Master's Degree in Secondary Education.

I have been a certified teacher since February 2007. I was a long-term substitute teacher for social studies and special education at Rockville High School for a number of years and was hired as a Social Studies teacher. I stayed at home to raise my children and tutored for Thompson Public Schools for five years, before coming to Brooklyn. I have worked for Brooklyn Schools for 6 years. I was a substitute teacher for two years, then I was the Educational Resource Room teacher for 2 years. Last year I taught 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade social studies to distance learning students. I am excited to be the 8th Grade United States History Teacher!

I grew up in Coventry, RI until I was 10. I moved to Tolland, CT during Christmas vacation when I was in fourth grade. I lived in Vernon and Ashford, before I moved to Brooklyn in 2010 and I love our town. I have 2 children, Jeffrey is 11 and Madison is 9. They attend Brooklyn Schools. In the spring and fall, most days you can find me at Prince Hill watching my children at soccer practice. They like to play and I enjoy cheering them on, as well as the other Brooklyn players.

I absolutely love to read, the beach, and most importantly chocolate.

I look forward to our year of learning history together!
