Here you will find all the information you will need for my class. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Addison, Illinois, which is up towards Chicago. I graduated from SIUC in 2001, and found a job in Beach Park, Illinois as a 7th/8th grade science teacher. I then moved to Teutopolis, Illinois in 2004 and taught one year at St. Anthony Grade School. I left teaching for a little while to pursue the path of parenting. I ran a daycare program from my home for 8 years. After my youngest entered preschool I decided to go back to teaching, because that is where my passion lies. I have subbed for the past 2 years in surrounding towns, and have grown quite fond of the elementary level. I was recently given a 5th grade maternity leave where I just blossomed and grew right along with the children. I have also worked with the Teutopolis Park District Summer Program where I was a counselor along with 3 other counselors. Our children ranged from incoming 1st graders through incoming 6th graders. From there I knew I would be a great fit for this 3rd grade position at Newton Elementary School.
