Welcome to ACES!
My name is Caroline Smith and I am very happy to work as a Tier 2 and 3 interventionist for both Reading and Math here at the Stratton School.
Creating a learning environment that is focused, inviting, safe and fun is very important to me.
I have been teaching for 24 years. Most of those years have been in First Grade.
I have a passion for keeping up with the latest research regarding learning in the younger grades. It is fascinating!
I work hard every day to help each student grow as a reader, writer and mathematician.
When we work, we celebrate all successes, whether big or small.
I will always find time to work together with the parents & caregivers of my students.
I love my work and I love my kiddos!
