About Mrs. Brown:
Welcome to my web page and team 6-1! I'm excited for this school year and helping you grow. I'm sure you will also help ME grow as a teacher...every year does. :)
A little about myself...I graduated from the University of Illinois, and I love rooting on my Illini. Safe to say, my classroom is decorated with orange and blue colors. Also, I am passionate about education and teaching at RMS. I never, EVER have a boring day, and the students constantly make me laugh and smile. During my years at RMS, I have also earned my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction (North Central College) and an EL endorsement (National-Louis University). Within the district, I participate in various committees, including the School Leadership Team and running Breakfast Book Club.
Hobbies? Interests? I have several! I stay active by working out and keeping myself fit and healthy. When I was younger, I devoted my free time to mastering the violin and taught myself to play a little piano. I also devour novels and create humorous writing pieces, mostly for friends and family. Speaking of my friends and family, they are the crux of my life, and on the weekends, I can be found spending time with both. Some guilty pleasures include binge-watching tv, Dark Chocolate, Peanut M&M's, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, coffee, and rooting on my favorite teams. Go Illini, Cubbies, Bears, and Hawks!

DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)
DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)
Students are encouraged to read 20 minutes or an extra 10 pages a night. This is the majority of our homework for the class. Most "Dear Reading" will occur through our assigned novels and students' independent reading, especially their novels used in conjunction with Literature Circles and/or Book Buzz groups.
