Mrs. Jillian Barracato
I am so excited to begin my 27th year of teaching at the Howard C. Johnson School. I began teaching in 1994 as a 3rd grade teacher at HCJ. Then, in 2004, I decided to be a stay-at home mom. I have 2 children, my daughter Gabrielle (now 23 years old) and son Nicholas (now 21 years old). I returned to teaching at HCJ in 2009. Since then, I have taught kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. I have truly enjoyed teaching 4th grade for 16 years in total !!! It is an exciting year because students are at an age where they learn to become independent learners as they mature and prepare for 5th grade, middle school, and beyond.
It is always my goal to help students master the 4th grade academic standards using flexible small groups to meet individual needs. My classroom has a climate that is positive and accepting of all students, and we treat each person in the class "family" with respect and kindness.
I look forward to another successful school year!
