About The Teacher

  This will be my fifth year teaching fifth grade at Holy Cross School.  I
have previously taught sixth grade and kindergarten.  I hold a Bachelor of
Science degree in elementary education from Elmhurst College.  I also have my
middle school endorsement in Math and Science.  In Fall of 2006 I completed my
Master's in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Science from
National Louis University.
  I love to watch and play sports.  I played volleyball in high school and
softball all the way through college.  My entire family and I are big die hard
Cub fans.  We live and die with the cubs!!
  Reading has also been a big part of my life.  I read a lot of Mary Higgins
Clark and Nicholas Sparks.  Reading is something I do when it's time to relax.

Mission For The Class

My mission is to create an environment in the classroom where students respect
each other, have high expectations and work together cooperatively.  I would
also want my students continuing to be life long learners and coming to school
everyday excited to learn.
