Ms. Murphy

Welcome to 1M!

Hi there! My name is Ms. Murphy and this is my fourth year at Brooks, second year teaching first grade. Words cannot express how excited I am to be your child's first grade teacher. In our classroom we will grow immensely as readers, writers, mathematicians, thinkers, and leaders. 

I can't wait to learn all about your child, but first here are a few things about me. I'm from Naperville and graduated from Lewis University with a dual certification in Elementary Education and Special Education. When I'm not exploring and thinking with Brooks Tigers, I enjoy reading, crocheting, baking, and going on family trips to our Lake Summerset house. I'm looking forward to an amazing year!

Here are some photos of my wonderful family! My brother Sean is a 4th grade teacher in Chicago, my older sister Siobhan is an animation manager in LA, and my little sister Meaghan is a nursing major at the University of Iowa. My parents are my heroes. My mom is a NICU nurse and my dad is the manager of Bo Jackson's Elite Sports dome. The beagle above is our naughty girl Marley! ☘
