My name is Susan Cusick.  The children all call me Ms. Q. I have been teaching for 36 years.  Most of my teaching has been in the primary grades.   I was born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana.  I love teaching children and first grade is my all time favorite grade to teach.  I enjoy doing hands-on lessons and thematic units.  The theme of our classroom is "Stand Up-Stand Tall- Stand Out."   Virtual learning will be a new concept for all of us.As we work, learn and grow this year, we will Stand up, Stand tall and STAND OUT!  Our children will be successful!
