Hello and welcome to 1 st grade! I am so excited to start my 10th year of teaching and my first year at Oak Grove.
I graduated from Eureka College in 2015 with a bachelors of science in elementary education. For the past 9 years I have taught first grade at Daarul Uloom in Peoria.
I have lived in Central Illinois my whole life. Currently, I reside in Chillicothe with my husband Jeff and our three children. Maylee is 7, Benjamin is 4, and Rhett is 2.
I have been working hard to make our classroom a great place for learning. 1st Grade is a year of lots of learning and BIG growth. We will focus on language arts including phonics, reading, speaking, listening, and writing. We will focus on math including counting to 120 by 1s, 5s, and 10s, understanding place value, addition and subtraction, measurement, graphing, 2D and 3D shapes, and telling time. We will learn about a lot of science and social studies topics. I can’t wait for you to see their amazing growth!
If you ever have any questions or concerns you can message me on Class Dojo, email me, send a note to the school, or call the office. I am looking forward to working with you and your child! We will have a great year!
