About Me

     My name is Susan Krevat.  I have been teaching for nine years so I still consider myself a new, older teacher.  I got my M.Ed. in Elementary Education from  Salem State.  I still take at least one course a year so I can continue to learn better ways to teach.

     I love my job.  I enjoy all the students and the variety of every day.  I also appreciate how teaching has given me an opportunity to become creative, versatile and accepting of change.  Every day is a new adventure, and I can never predict how the day will go - I will never get bored being a teacher.

     In my at-home life, I have a husband, Matthew, who is a lawyer; three teenaged children - Bethany, 19; Derek, 17; and Andrew, 15.  I am also so lucky to have a twelve year old  Brittany spaniel that we adopted three years ago.  It is so terrific to come home to the unconditional love of a dog.  I also have an adorable guinea pig, Good Girl, who I try to bring to school once a week.

     In my free time, I clean, do laundry, cook, taxi my children and take care of everyone.  For fun, I do the crossword puzzle, read and go for walks with my dog.  My life is very busy and hectic, but I am so fortunate to have had all the opportunities I have been given.

     I love to get e-mail, so please write to me with any questions or comments.

Reading News

Every day we read quite a bit.  We read in our reading books, and we have book clubs - just like on Oprah.  We also have centers that focus on reading and writing.

Make sure to read every day.  This is the best way to learn and keep your skills sharp for school.

Language Arts

Feel free to send me an e-mail any time.  I will write back as quickly as I can.  Plus I love to hear from you!

Science News

   

Social Studies News

We are so lucky to live close to so many historical places.  If you have a chance to visit Boston, you will see a lot of history.

 

Important Reminder

Study and memorize your math facts.  You need to practice every day, even at home and on the weekends, until you know them inside out.  This will be time well spent for the rest of your school years.  If you still are rusty at subtraction, practice those facts, also.  You'll be glad you did.

You can use www.aaamath.com or make flashcards or study with a parent or friend.  If you need any help, see me so we can get you set up with a system that works for you.
