About+Mrs.+Connelly

Hi! My name is Sam Connelly, and this is my 14th year teaching 8th grade English at Sandy Run.

As an avid reader and writer, I look forward to introducing our students to though-provoking literary texts and guiding them through analysis, deconstruction and imitation. In the classroom, the students are writers, positioning themselves as writers, and learning to discuss craft. I have two of my own children. My son Joeyis entering second grade this year in Abington School District. My daughter, Ava, who is four, attends Serendipity nursery school in the annex, so we drive to work together - great Mommy and Me time!



Finally, my husband, Joe, is a high-school math teacher in Philadelphia.

This, your final year at Sandy Run, will be a great year – hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am!
