I am excited to be part of the kindergarten team again this year. This will be my tenth year at Old Post Elementary School, where I have taught both kindergarten and first grade. I attended North Central College, in Naperville, Ill., where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with a junior high endorsement in social science in 2006. In 2011 I received my master’s degree in reading from Olivet Nazarene University, in Bourbonnais, Ill. I enjoy watching kindergarteners explore and grow into independent learners.
