About Mr. Hayward

Welcome to 4th grade. I am so happy that you are in my classroom. This is my twenty-fifth year teaching at Mann School and my eighteenth non-consecutive year in 4th grade. I have a Bachelors' Degree from National Louis University and a Masters' degree from Saint Xavier University. I definitely enjoy working with technology and helping students develop and expand their writing into full narrative, expository, or opinion-based papers.

Outside of school, I am married to my wife Melissa, and have two kids, Emma (8) and Connor (12). Outside I am involved with the Oak Park Teachers' Associatio, Boy Scouts, and enjoy working with students in tutoring. My family and I reside in the northwest Chicago suburb of Wauconda, Illinois. Our family dog is Adley who is fouryears old.

I'm looking forward to a great year working with each fourth grader and their family.
