Elizabeth Carrick

Preschool

Hello Families and students! My name is Elizabeth Carrick. This will be my sixth year teaching at Bateman, and my second year in a preschool classroom! 
​
I grew up in a small town in Illinois, and come from a very large family! I've lived in Chicago for over ten years. I enjoy camping, hiking, cooking, yoga, biking, and gardening... and I love to read! Some of my favorite children's authors are Ezra Jack Keats, Vera B. Williams, and Roald Dahl. 

My Background

I love teaching and I love learning! I have studied Psychology, Child Development, and have my Masters of Science in Early Childhood Education (Bilingual/ESL) as well as my Special Education endorsement (LBS1). I have studied at DePaul University, Yale University, Erikson Institute, Loyola University, and National Louis University. 

Our Classroom

Our Classroom has two teachers, both myself and our full-time Teaching Assistant, Ana Mohill. Children learn a LOT in preschool! We focus on supporting children in their social-emotional and academic skill development. Their experience in preschool is the foundation for their schooling, and the collaboration between teachers and families is crucial for a successful year. Please be sure to review all the documentation that is sent home and let me know if you have questions or concerns about how to best support your child at home, or questions about what we do in our classroom. I will use Class Dojo throughout the year to keep you up to speed on what we are doing in our classroom.
