Welcome to Room 104! This is going to be a very exciting year. Here is a little background on me: I grew up in the north suburbs and have been living in the city for the last decade. I graduated from National-Louis University with a degree in Elementary Education. I completed my master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago to become a Reading Specialist. Additionally, I have an endorsement in English as a Second Language also from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My experience includes teaching kindergarten, second grade, and fifth grade. I have also been an aide and substitute. My CPS experience includes Blaine Elementary, Bell Elementary, and The Nettelhorst School. This will be my fifth year teaching kindergarten at Ray and I truly love and enjoy it. During my free time I love to read, exercise, travel (the Pictures page has many photos of things we study in kindergarten from my travels), go to restaurants, go to museums, and very basic cooking. In April 2013, my husband and I welcomed an english bulldog puppy into our lives that we named Stella. She is a great dog and we spend lots of time on walks, going to the dog park, and just hanging out around the condo. My students love to hear stories about what Stella has been up to. Because she is too cute to pass up, below is a picture of Stella from from August 2016. I post newsletters weekly and updates and reminders as necessary. I suggest you also check the pages on the top under "more" often as they are frequently updated. It would be helpful for you to send me an email with your name and the name of your child. That way I know I have your correct email. All newsletters and updates will be posted on the blog and sent as a paper copy in the home folders. Send me an email if you would like to go paperless with the newsletter.
Our excellent kindergarten team will be working hard all year to meet the needs of all students. Feel free to contact me at: [email protected] Please see the supply list in the post below. I hope to see you all at Kindergarten Orientation on Monday, August 22nd at 9:00 a.m. at Ray. Visit the Ray School website, a link is at the top of this page, for up to date information.
