Dear Families, I would like to welcome you and your child to my Kindergarten classroom at Indian Hill School! Starting Kindergarten is a very important milestone in your child’s life! It is my privilege to be a part of this special time. I am looking forward to an enjoyable year working with you and your child.
I am extremely excited to be teaching Kindergarten at Indian Hill School. This is my ninth year teaching Kindergarten and my eleventh year working in Palos Heights School District 128. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa in 2005, my Masters in Elementary Education for Saint Xavier University in 2008, and my endorsement to teach English as a Second Language in 2011. I am also the mother of two little girls, Caroline (4) and Catherine (2). I am excited to share the knowledge I have gained from these experiences with you and your child.
I look forward to taking many adventures in learning with your child. I am committed to making this year one of excitement, growth, and opportunity, both academically and socially! I value your involvement and believe I can better teach your child when working in a partnership with you and your family. If you have any questions or at anytime need to discuss your child with me, please do not hesitate to call, email, or write me.
On a final note, I want you to know that I am very honored to have this special opportunity of being your child’s kindergarten teacher. I hope to make your child’s learning experience a fun and exciting one, as well as instilling a love of learning that your child will carry with them throughout their life.
