Hello and welcome to 5th grade!! This is my 11th year at Anna McDonald where I have taught both 3rd and 5th grades. I am starting my 16th year teaching, which seems like a long time. But, every year brings its new surprises to always keep me on my toes.
While I have a strong passion for teaching, some other things about me that you might like to know are: 1. I have a dog named Charley who is very loyal and lovable. 2. I love baseball and spend most of my summer nights watching the Joliet Slammers play. I host players, which I have been doing for the past 7 seasons. 3. I love reading and hope to pass that passion on to all of my students. 4. Dunkin Donuts coffee gives me life. 5. Even though I don't have kids of my own, my niece and nephews live right around the corner from me and consider me their "Aunt Mom". 6. I love traveling! I have traveled with a company called Bookbag Tours, a travel group for educators to Ireland and Australia. This upcoming summer, I will be leading a trip back to Ireland! |
