We want to let all our families know about a free opportunity for your students offered by Swing for Kids.  "Harlem Renaissance" is an event that will encompass much of the history and movement based fun that has been presented in other CPS class rooms, and we are excited to invite you to join us.

This is a drop off event (with parent permission slip). Moms, Dads and caregivers can drop students off for the afternoon, where they can get a taste of the excellent arts programming and movement.


The  elements of the event will include short films and cartoons from the period, craft projects, fun fact history moments, a "vintage" style photo booth where students can dress up with costumes and accessories from the period, and of course,  movement based classes, offered in short doses, leading up to an all student inclusive mini performance at the end of the day.   


The best thing: This is completely free for students with advance online registration.
We will be accepting drop in students, based on space availability, and that fee will be $1 for drop ins. Registration is available at bit.ly/SFKHarlem
"Harlem Renaissance" will take place Friday November 24, from 1pm-4pm at Lillstreet Loft, 4437 N Ravenswood, just 1/2 block from the Montrose Brown Line stop.

In addition to receiving great holiday gifts at great prices, our school will receive 50% of the purchase price. Let me share that with you again: we get 50% of each sale! This program allows us to raise a substantial amount of money for our trip by doing what we all do during the holidays: buying gifts for our friends and family. What could be easier for us!

Congratulations To Our Teacher Of The Month Ms. Lucien!

11/10/2017

I am honored to be nominated as November's Teacher of the Month. I have never wanted to be anything other than a teacher, and it is a privilege to do so at Bateman School. I was inspired to be a teacher by my grandmother and two of my aunts who were teachers, as well as several special teachers that made a difference in my life.  

​I grew up in rural, central Illinois and graduated from both Lincoln Christian College and the University of Illinois in Springfield. I completed my graduate studies in bilingual and bi-cultural education at Chicago State University. This is my 13th year teaching at Bateman Elementary School and my 14th year teaching. I taught in a 3rd grade classroom for 11 years, and this is my 3rd year teaching 1st grade. I love working with English language learners, as well as learning new languages. I speak English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, and I hope to begin learning French soon!
​
Over the years, it has been my pleasure to coach volleyball and softball, lead the ballroom dance team, and teach in a variety of after school programs. I truly enjoy being a part of the Bateman community.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially my husband and two children, ages 4 years and  20 months. ​
