Welcome to First Grade!

We are going to have a fabulous year!

A Little Bit About Myself - 2021 marks the beginning of my 32nd year of teaching, with the last 25 years in District #93. All but one of those years have been in first grade. I received my BA from the University of Illinois in Elementary Education, with developmental reading as my area of concentration. I also have a Master's Degree from National Louis University in Curriculum and Instruction. My husband John and I are the proud parents of 3 wonderful children ~ Johnny who is in his second year of law school at DePaul University, Jimmy who is a Senior at Montini High School and Abby who is in 6th grade. We also have an adorable 1 year old mini labradoodle named Bailey. I am a huge Disney fan and love visiting Disney World almost yearly. I also love Notre Dame football, the Chicago White Sox and scrapbooking. I am looking forward to a wonderful year getting to know your child.
