Miss torossi's 2nd Grade class

About Me

Hello! My name is Nina Torossi and this is my fourth year teaching! I graduated from Illinois State University with a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Early Childhood Education. I have also received an endorsement in ESL (English as a Second Language) and a Special Education Letter of Approval. I am also an alumni of Pennoyer School and am happy to be back! 

My Educational Philosophy

I believe the purpose of education is to give children the knowledge and experience they need to help them succeed and contribute positively in society. I plan to create an inclusive and safe learning environment for my students by being a role model for kindness, patience, and understanding. Behavior learned in a classroom will follow students throughout life which is why I will encourage my students to display confident, ambitious, and respectful characteristics. In recognizing each student as an individual learner, I will be able to provide the supports and services needed for each child to reach their full potential in and outside the classroom.
