Meet Mrs. Oakley
I am so excited to be your child's teacher this school year! I am a graduate of Northern Illinois University and have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Language Arts and Social Studies. I also hold an English as a Second Language endorsement, and I am about halfway finished with my Masters degree. This is my eighth year teaching kindergarten at Spaulding School. Before coming to Spaulding, I spent four years teaching first grade and second grade.
Kindergarten is my favorite grade I've taught. The students come every day with so much enthusiasm, and they grow so quickly! I love making connections with my students and, in some cases, being their first teacher (other than their parents)! When I'm not at school, I love to be outside. I enjoy hiking, bike-riding, boating, and kayaking! I also love to cheer on the Cubs and travel within the United States. My favorite thing is to spend time with my husband, Ken, and our four-year-old son, George. |
