Welcome to Second Grade!

I’m Miss. Giovanna Buscemi and this is my third year teaching at St. Agnes. I taught 3rd grade my first year and now this will be my second year teaching 2nd grade. I previously worked as a Substitute Teacher for the West Islip School District and for Eastern Suffolk BOCES. I received my Undergraduate Degree from St. Joseph’s College in Early Childhood Education/Childhood Education. I am dual-certified in both General Education and Special Education. I am currently working on my Masters in Teaching Literacy at Touro College. Some of the things that I enjoy are the beach, my family/friends and reading. 

I am so excited to experience this year with all of you!
