Meet Mrs. Novak 

Bonjour!  I have been teaching at Ludwig since 2014.  I began my career in 4th grade and later moved to 5th grade, where I've been ever since! My teaching career has been in 4th and 5th grade! I love working with the upper elementary age group! 

I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a dual concentration in Math and French.  I have a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with English as a Second Language (ELL) endorsement from Olivet Nazarene University.  

On October 3, 2019, I welcomed a son, Eaton and on March 3, 2022, I welcomed a daughter, Maisy.  It is wild that they were both born on the 3rd of the month!  We have been blessed!  I love watching them both learn and grow each day.  

In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends.  I also enjoy yoga, fitness, parks, baking, photography, and getting inspired on Pinterest.  I enjoy teaching my students French and all things tech.  With my positive attitude, motivation, and energy, this will be a fantastic year!
