Mrs. Clough (Cluff)Hello families!!
My name is Briana Clough and I am the 5th grade resource teacher. This is my first year teaching at
Kelly Lane and I am very excited to be here! Before coming to Granby, I attended UCONN as an
undergraduate and received my Master’s degree and Special Education certification from the University of Saint Joseph. I’ve also worked in schools in Norwich
and Bloomfield where I specialized in helping students with literacy skills.
Being a resource teacher means I am a resource to EVERYONE!

• Expose students to the Spanish language through the peoples, practices, products and perspectives the language encompasses by incorporating the “5C’s National Standards for Language”.
• In this program, students will learn the basics of Spanish and begin building a strong foundation for second language learning. They will understand the importance of learning a second language and relate Spanish to their own lives and the world around them.
• Students will explore Spanish using real-life experiences through all language competencies. In class, students will be reading, writing, listening and speaking Spanish!
• Currently students are learning some basics and becoming familiar with their new surroundings. They have also chosen a Spanish name for class, ask them to share it with you!
