This a picture of me with my grandchildren, Colin, Brinley, and Isaac.
Hi! I'm Ms Linda Nowak, your child's third grade teacher. This will be my
37th year as an elementary teacher in the Taylor School District. I am really
looking forward to this year and working with you and your child. Third grade
is such a fun grade. It is also a very important year for your child. It is
so exciting to watch children grow through the year and become responsible,
independent students. I LOVE being a teacher and couldn't imagine doing
anything else!
I was born and raised in Dearborn, Michigan. I attended Eastern Michigan
University where I received my Bachelor of Science degree and my Masters of
Education degree. I began my career as a First Grade Teacher at Eurekadale
Elementary School. I taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades at Eurekadale,
Wareing, Taylor Parks and Treadwell Elementary Schools. After that I was
assigned to Brake Junior High to teach Cooking to the 7th, 8th and 9th
graders. I also taught reading and English at Brake for the next five
years. Next, I became a Compensatory Education Facilitator (for those who
remember, a CEF) for the district. I worked in that capacity for the next
nine years at Myers, Treadwell, Eurekadale, Randall, and Racho. I am
currently in my 12th year (I think) of teaching 3rd grade at Randall and I
LOVE it!
I have lived in Livonia for many years. I have two daughters, Jill and
Jennifer, who are grown up, married, mothers, and teachers too. They are
married to Brendan and Matt (also a teacher). I have three wonderful
grandchildren who are the world to me. Of course I can't forget my furry
little baby, Gibby. My 15 year old Tabby cat, who my students, past and
present, have heard many, many stories about. I used to bring him to school
once a year but he is getting old and he can't take the travel in the car
anymore.
I enjoy cooking, watching sports, traveling, eating out, shopping and being
outside when the weather is warm.
