About Mrs. C
Welcome to 5th grade!! My name is Shannon Chaussee and I've been teaching at Highland Acres for 13 years! (Two in grade 6 and eleven in grade 5!!)
I was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. (Go, Pack, Go!! Yes, big Packer fan here!) I grew up in Washburn, ND, where I graduated from high school. I attended Minot State University and double majored in Elementary Education and Special Education. I also attended the University of Mary and received my Master's Degrees in Learning Disabilities and Emotional Disorders.
I have been teaching for nearly 26 years!!! My teaching experience began in Alconbury, England, where I taught "Compensatory Education". I worked with grades 1 and 3. From there, I moved to Okinawa, Japan where I taught grade 2. Upon returning to the United States, I began my "mainland" educational career at Simle Middle School and Wachter Middle School where I taught in special education.
