Kendall WilliamsonI grew up in Champaign, Illinois – home of the University of Illinois. I have two degrees from the U of I, my most recent being a master’s in elementary education. My husband, Evan, and I moved to Chicago this past summer, so this is my first year at Bateman Elementary School, as well as my first year with Chicago Public Schools. I am honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside such nurturing and supportive coworkers and families in the Bateman community!

Fun facts |
I enjoy watching movies, spending time with family, singing, and playing soccer, tennis, and volleyball. I also love to travel! When I married my husband two summers ago, our reception had a travel theme where each of the tables represented different cities we have visited around the world. We went to the Azores islands and Lisbon, Portugal for our honeymoon – it was beautiful!
My mother was a P.E. and performing arts teacher for many years, and my older sister currently teaches kindergarten as well. They are my role models – teaching runs in our family! It’s no surprise that I have always fostered a love of learning, and my goal is to inspire every one of my students to share that desire to constantly wonder, ask questions, and want to know more about the world around them. |

I want our classroom to be a safe, structured, and welcoming environment where every student feels prepared to learn and have fun. Kindergarten is an important year that builds the skills, self-reliance, and persistence that your child will use throughout the rest of his/her schooling. Therefore, I believe in the importance of creating strong partnerships with parents to help every child reach their full potential and succeed in school. Please feel free to email me (KLWilliamson3@cps.edu) or contact me through ClassDojo with any questions or concerns you have throughout the year!
