About Ms. Hannan

Hello helpful heroes! My name is Ms. Hannan. I am a graduate student at Adelphi University in the STEP program studying childhood education and special education. I graduated in May 2025 with a bachelors degree in English on the literature track. I will be graduating in May 2026 with my Masters in Childhood Education and the advanced certificate in Students with Disabilities. This semester I student taught in a 4th grade general education setting, as well as, in a 2nd grade and 4th grade ICT setting. My teaching philosophy is that all students are capable of learning and that through differentiation and teachers truly understanding their students, all students can succeed. When teachers plan thought provoking lessons, collaborate with other school staff members, and provide a safe and accepting place to foster their students' learning and growth it can truly help their students be the best learners they can be.

My professional expertise includes my student teaching and observations hours through Adelphi University, a tutoring program through my Master’s Seminar at Adelphi University, teaching swim lessons at my local pool for the past five summers, coaching CYO swim team for children in the eight and under age group, and volunteering at Camp ANCHOR for their swim program while I was in high school. 

Throughout this school year we will work together to enhance our math, reading, writing, social studies, and science skills. We will take part in meaningful lessons, activities, and experience that make learning enjoyable. Along with our core subjects we will also be practicing kindness and respect towards ourselves and each other.

For hobbies, I love to run, hike, read, and spend time with my family and friends. I hope to involve my love of movement and the outdoors into my lessons, as well as, my love for reading as I believe these are all important aspects that can help any child in school. I am very excited to be your teacher this school year!
