Fifth and Sixth Grade Options

Fifth Grade Homeroom (317) and 5th/6th ELA/SS, Ms. Anderson

Ms. Anderson has been a teacher for 19 years, with ten of those at Bell. She has a BS in Elementary Education from NIU and an MA in Teaching and Learning from St. Xavier University with a middle school endorsement in ELA and SS. When Ms. Anderson is not busy being a teacher, she can be found trying to PR on her Peloton, reading a historical fiction or narrative nonfiction novels, attending an indie rock show, hanging out with her family, cheering on the White Sox, or planning her next trip. She loves teaching fifth and sixth grade and cannot wait to get to know you! 

Sixth Grade Homeroom (310) and 5th/6th Math & Science, Ms. Lansky

Ms. Lansky has a BA in Biology and Comparative Religion from Oberlin College, and a Masters in Elementary Education from NEIU.  She lives in Andersonville with her son. Outside of the classroom, Ms. Lansky loves to read & write sci-fi and fantasy, draw, play video games, and go camping. She also cheers for the Cubs (sorry, Ms. Anderson). Ms. Lansky loves getting out into nature, but also bringing some of that nature into the classroom. She’s so excited to get to know you all!
