First Grade


Ms. Nora Claus

Meet Your Teacher!

Hi my name is Nora Claus and I am very happy to be spending my second year at West Stafford School.  I would like to begin by telling you a little about myself.  I grew up in Willington, Connecticut and I am currently living in Coventry.  I have a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies which I received from the University of Connecticut in 2004.  While at Uconn, I was a member of the Varsity Women’s Diving team and the Uconn Celtic Club.  After Uconn, I went straight to Eastern Connecticut State University where I received my Master’s degree and Certification in Elementary Education.  Besides teaching first grade, I also teach springboard diving, CPR and lifeguarding classes.  During the winter I enjoy skiing, snowboarding and ice skating.  So I am always excited when it snows!  In the summer I enjoy going to the beach, swimming, and camping.  However, this summer I have spent most of my time working on fixing my house and working in the garden.  I hope everyone is excited about first grade because I know we are going to have a great year!
