Hi, My name is Karen DeFanti. I earned my bachelors degree from the
University of Connecticut and my masters degree from the University of New
Haven. I have had the pleasure of working at Horace Porter for the last ten
years in the third grade. I live in Pawcatuck, CT. and have two children
that are 17 and 18. We enjoy traveling, reading, bike riding,
going to the beach,and just spending time together. I love to go to work
everyday so I can teach, learn, and share my time with a group of lively and
enthusiastic young people.
My mission is to reach and teach every student according to their
different learning modalities. Such modalities include listening, moving
(manipulating objects) and seeing. It is my quest and challenge to enlighten
each student using all these teaching styles to make sure each child is
offered every opportunity to learn and excel.
