Hello!My name is Mrs. Carol Zeffiro. I am a First Grade Teacher at the Anthony J. Schmidt Elementary School in the Lake Shore Central School District.I have been teaching for 32 years! I began teaching Pre-First Grade at Jerusalem Corners Elementary School from 1987 - 1991. At that time, I switched to teaching First Grade from 1991 - 1994. In 1994, I moved to Brant Elementary School where I taught one year of Kindergarten and seventeen years of First Grade. As you can see, first grade is truly my favorite! In 2010, Brant Elementary School was closed. I then moved to Anthony J. Schmidt where I taught another year of Kindergarten. I was able to go back to First Grade the following year. I am thrilled to be back and plan to stay in First Grade for the remainder of my teaching career! :DI received a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education from State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia in 1987. I received a Masters of Science degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Learning and Behavioral Disorders from State University of New York at Fredonia in 1992. I continue to further my education by taking graduate level courses and staff development courses in order to keep current on teaching techniques, theory, and research. I have completed 60 credit hours past my Masters degree!I currently reside in Brant, New York with my husband, Frank, and many pets. Our son, Mike, lives near New York City and is a member of the FDNY (Fire Dept of NYC). He is also a Jazz Pianist. Our son, Eric, lives in Buffalo and is an architect/designer with Young And Wright Architectural.
