Welcome To Room 302
"What's Your Superpower"
In 302, we strive for excellence! It is my pleasure to be your teacher this school year! I am excited about what is to come this year! We will work rigorously and gain a wealth of knowledge! Come along for the journey! At Marcus Garvey this year Knowledge is Garvey's Superpower! So get ready to enjoy your fifth grade school year!
I am really looking forward to this school year and am very pleased to have the opportunity to continue teaching at Marcus Garvey School. This will be my 15th year of teaching. I have had the honor of teaching grades 3, 4, 5 and 6. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Education at Chicago State University, and my Master’s in Educational Administration at Grand Canyon University. I also completed my Master’s in Reading at Saint Xavier University. Currently, I am in a new and exciting program, Educational Technology.
You are your child’s first and most important teacher. I value your input, so please let me know if there is anything you want to share about your child or how they might be more successful.
It is my goal to make this a fulfilling and fun year of learning. At Marcus Garvey we will use data that is provided to us through various assessments to determine the instructional focus in the classroom.
This year, I will communicate with every parent on a weekly basis. This dialog can address questions you may have about the academic program, concerns, and behavior. You can email me at [email protected], leave me a message at 773.535.2763, or come in to see me Monday through Friday 7:45 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. I will also use Remind.com to send weekly reminders.
