A little bit about me...
I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Elementary Education. I am also endorsed to teach middle school science, social studies, and language arts. However, my heart belongs in elementary school!
I am currently in the last half of my graduate school program through Concordia University. When I graduate this summer I will have my master's in Differentiated Instruction. Differentiation deals with reaching your students who are struggling, students on level, and students who are excelling and need an extra challenge. I picked this program so I could utilize the skills I learn in every and any grade I teach. This also comes in handy for when I teach other grades for Saturday School, Summer School, and Pride Plus at HMS.
I am looking forward to spending this year with your child and the rest of your family. I believe communication between home and school is a vital component in a student's success.
Let's have a great year together!
