Meet the Teacher: All About Ms. Holonics.

My full name is Claudia Holonics. I grew up and still live in Hamilton, New Jersey. I have a Masters Degree in Elementary and Special Education from The College of New Jersey. I graduated in May of 2021. This will be my third year teaching in South Brunswick and my first year teaching at Monmouth Junction. I have two brothers ( 13 & 21)  and a dog named Brewster. 

​

I have always been an avid reader and love reading short stories to the students in my classroom as well. This year, I look forward to reading a novel to the whole class as well! When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy going to the beach during the summer months, scrapbooking, traveling with friends, going to Zumba fitness classes, watching new television shows on Netflix, finding new restaurants to try, and baking banana bread! It is so good!

​

This past summer I spent five weeks living with two different host families in Italy while working as a volunteer summer camp counselor. I got to enjoy homecooked meals, learn some of the Italian language, make friends with other counselors from the USA, Canada, the UK, and Ireland, and make so many memories that I would not have made otherwise! It was a very memorable experience and I learned about new games and activities that I cannot wait to introduce to your children this school year. 

​

My favorite food is pasta. My favorite dessert is ice cream, specifically mint chocolate chip. During the school day, you can find me snacking on a Kit Kit during snack time ( not all of the time of course!). I love iced tea, specially flavored iced tea such as peach. Below you can find some pictures of my adventures, including my experience this summer in Italy.
