ROBIN DELUCA - 2nd grade. rdeluca@cfprep.prg - Hello!  My name is Robin R. DeLuca.  This is my second year here at CFP.  I taught Pre-K for ten years and taught fifth grade last year.  I am a graduate of  SUNY Geneseo, a NY state university up near Rochester, NY, and have been teaching for most of the past twenty-five years.  I have been married since 1982 and have two sons, ages 17 and 21.  I am a voracious reader of nearly anything I can get my hands on, but I most enjoy science fiction and mysteries.  I think that the Harry Potter series is one of the best things to happen to children’s literature in a long time.  I also do a vast amount of needlework, mostly knit and crochet.  As the weather cools off, ask your child about Mrs. DeLuca’s socks!  I am very happy to be here as your child’s second grade teacher.  I know that we will have an exciting, fun and learning filled year together.  I look forward to getting to know both you and your children, and making you all part of my family as well.
