WELCOME TO MRS. KOCJANCIC’S FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM!

MEET THE TEACHERHello! My name is Mrs. Kocjancic and this is my second year of teaching first grade after 8 years in kindergarten at South St. Marys.

I graduated from Clarion University in 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. Then in 2007 with a Master’s Degree from Gannon University in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently working on another Master’s Degree from Clarion in Educational Leadership in Technology.

I am really excited for this school year and this particular group seems to be awesome already!
