About Ms. Morozink
I am delighted to be part of the Belding community. This is my 11th year teaching in the primary grades. I never get tired of watching students learn new things about their world, gain confidence in themselves, and make connections with each other. It is a joy to help the little ones grow and learn every day. I graduated with my B.A. in Elementary Education and a minor in Art. I also have my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with specializations in ESL and reading from National Louis University. I have a passion for literacy and can't wait to read some of my favorite books with my students this year.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends listening to music, trying new restaurants, and cooking lots of yummy things! You can also find me riding my bike all around Chicago and working in my garden.
I'm so excited for a great year together filled with joy, curiosity, and discovery!
