Welcome to Ms. Ellis' K1 class! K1 is such a great grade to teach, I have many years of experience with children at this age level. I have been teaching K1 at the Mattapan Campus for 3 years. I attended Catholic school in high school and it is the reason why I decided to join the Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Chilldhood Education and Integrated Liberal Studies from Curry College and am in the process of earning my Masters in Education Administration from the University of Massachusetts Boston. I have also taught in Hingham and Brockton as well as Mattapan. Before becoming a school teacher, I taught gymnastics for 8 years. On this website, you can get weekly and monthly news as well as pictures from our day to day activities. Don't forget to check out our class Twitter account at @sjp2cak1mat, or our campus Twitter at @sjp2camattapan. Please remember to log in to your parent GOLD account where you can track your child's progress throughout the year and communicate with me as well.
