Currently: I have finished my 18th year teaching, currently at Nancy Young Elementary in District 204 in fourth grade. I live in Naperville and am married with two teenagers, one who is just home from her first year at college!
Previously: I started teaching in Chicago in 1993, and taught at Graham and Kendall in 204 before having my two girls. I stayed home for 8 years with them before returning to the classroom. I have my Master's in Literacy and my ELL Endorsement as well as the Gifted Endorsement.
Future: I look forward to learning how to use technology to make my life easier and my students' lived more enjoyable and engaging. I want to learn all about Google classroom and all its applications. I have used many different sites like Edmodo, Kahoot, TodaysMeet, and others, but have never really felt like I have used them to their full capabilities. All I know is the kids love it when they get to use devices for learning so I want to know all I can about how to incorporate it and be efficient with it, especially with Chromebooks coming on board next year to elementary. I also look forward to all the ideas from the other teachers in this class!
