Welcome! 

Ms. Karim's Corner

Hello and welcome to all families visiting this overwhelmingly exciting website. I am Ms. Karim! I teach reading, writing, and social science. 

 👩‍🏫 Meet Ms. Karim! 🎉

I've been teaching ELA since 2013 and have worked with 7th and 8th graders, but let me tell you... 6th grade is where the magic happens! 🪄✨ 

My classroom is very much centered around JOY 🥳 and CREATIVITY 🎨. I love hands-on, exciting projects that bring learning to life. Some of my favorite activities we've done include:

🏺 Building Ancient Egypt dioramas
🏃‍♂️ Competing in our own Greek Olympics
💰 Running a trade simulation for Ancient African Kingdoms

Outside of school, here’s a little more about me:
🌆 I believe that Chicago is the most superior U.S. city. It's got the best skyline.  It's got the best traffic jk. But it does have the best skyline, objectively speaking.
🐂 I’m a Chicago Bulls fan. I don't want to talk about it.
🌭 I love hot dogs (I am an advocate for ketchup. IT'S NOT A CRIME.)
🎭 I’m a big fan of musicals. I sing in class very often.
🌍 I love to travel and explore new places.
** I'm proud of my Syrian roots!
🗣️ Je parle un peu de francais.
🎓 I have a Master’s in Education, and I am a lifelong learner.

Basically, I’m here to make learning fun, meaningful, and something you'll never forget. Get ready for a year filled with stories, projects, teamwork, and a whole lot of laughter. Let’s gooooooo 🙌📖🔥
