Welcome to Ms. Gryzik's Math Classroom

Hello! I am Miss Lauren Gryzik. This will be my 9th year teaching; 5th at Emerson Middle School! 

I started my career as a Middle School Math Interventionist and Executive Functioning teacher. When I came to Park Ridge-Niles, I taught 8th-grade Math and Science, and then returned to teaching math, specifically 6th grade. I believe in teaching young adolescents to love math and to learn new math concepts in connection with the world around us. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Elementary and Middle-Level Education at ISU. The end is near, and graduation is set for May of 2026! I am constantly improving my teaching for my students, and I am excited for the new school year!
