Get to know your teachers...

Welcome back 4th graders!  This year is going to be fabulous.  We will be learning all kinds of things about all kinds of subjects.  But to get started, how about you learn some things about me.? I have been teaching for 19 years!  I've almost always been in fourth grade, and absolutely love it.  I have 4, that's right F-O-U-R, daughters and one very patient husband, Mr. K, who  is also a teacher.  We like to spend a lot of time outside bike riding, walking, and goofing around.  Inside, we like to read, play rummy, and do art projects.  I love to cook, snowboard, and am trying to relearn how to play the guitar....maybe we can convince Ms. Kaplan to give me lessons.  Get excited 4th graders, because your greatest adventures await you!

Ms. Kaplan


I am excited to be your teacher this year! I have been teaching for 16 years, and have spent the last 13 at Rhodes! I went to college in Toronto, Canada but moved back home to Chicago to start my teaching career.  I have earned two Master's Degrees from Northeastern Illinois University in Special Education and Teaching English as a Second Language.  When I'm not at work I love to cook, bake and decorate cakes, play the guitar and hang out with my husband, five year old son and three year old daughter.  It's a great year to be in fourth grade!
