Shanna McCarthy
Grade 2 Teacher
Hi I am Mrs. McCarthy! I am one of the Second Grade teachers here at Chester-Andover Elementary School. This is my fifth year teaching second grade at CAES. Prior to teaching second grade at CAES I taught special education here and I enjoyed it tremendously and I am now thoroughly enjoying teaching second grade! Before my move to Vermont I taught both regular education and special education in Massachusetts for three years. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as Special Education and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instructional Technology. I enjoy teaching in a way that encourages individual and group creativity and expression. I hope to give my students an exciting and adventurous year that will leave them with a thirst for knowledge that is never-ending.

When school is out I enjoy spending time with my husband, Matt, and my two sons Dylan and Kaiden. We have two wonderful animals as well. A boxer named Trey and a cat named Bubba. My husband and I enjoy taking Dylan and Kaiden on many adventures, which frequently include lots of sporting events like Red Sox baseball games!!! This summer we took a road trip to Baltimore to follow the Sox! In the summer we enjoy spending lots of time outdoors enjoying the sun.
