Hello Families and students! I excited to begin a new year in kindergarten at Bateman! This year is going to be full of fun and learning. I look forward to working with each of you and getting to know you and your children. 

Our Classroom
Children learn a LOT in kindergarten! 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.

About Me
This will be my fourth year teaching at Bateman, and my fifth year in a kindergarten classroom! 
I grew up in a small town in northern Illinois, and come from a very large family! I've lived in Chicago for over ten years. 

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). I have studied at DePaul University, Yale University, Erikson Institute, and Loyola University. 

I enjoy 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.
