A Little Bit About The Teacher
Welcome to 2nd grade! I would like to welcome all of my students and their families. As always, the start of a school year holds the promise of new discovery and learning. This is also a great time to be meeting new friends and making long-lasting friendships. I look forward to getting to know your child and helping them reach their full potential.
To give you a little background information about myself; I attended Southern Illinois University where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and another in Educational Administration, both from William Carey College in Mississippi. I have several years of teaching experience. I have taught various grades in Illinois, Mississippi. and Texas. This will be my 12th year teaching 2nd grade at Peterson.
I have lived in Naperville for 24 years. My husband and I have two daughters. Our oldest daughter graduated from Western Kentucky University and is a dental hygienist. She and her husband live in Chicago. And our youngest daughter is a graduate of Columbia College in Chicago and majored in Comedy Writing and Performance. Both of our children are products of this district, having graduated from Neuqua Valley High School.
EXPECTATIONS:
The following Behavior Plan will be implemented in our classroom. I believe that all students can behave appropriately and be responsible for their choices in order for us to achieve our learning goals. As a guideline, we will observe the following classroom behaviors which align with the Peterson school-wide rules:
Be Kind
Stay on task during all work times.
Be kind to others in your words and in your actions.
Be Accountable
Follow all directions the first time they are given.
Be Safe
Keep hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.
