My name is Lori and this course is part of my journey to my Masters in Education. I have a background in accounting only to quickly discover that I wanted more....people interaction, movement, challenges, and something fulfilling. Needless to say, it took over a year of hardship and unknowns to discover my passion for teaching. I went back to school and years later, I'm loving what I do...TEACHING!!! I hold my Bachelor's in Elementary Education, an ESL Endorsement, and now continuing for my Masters.

I've taught in the inner city of Chicago for the last few years and am taking the year off to delivery and care for my first born baby due in mid October. I have 3 young adult stepdaughters, but am thrilled to have my very own and a boy yet to boot!! To satisfy my passion to teach, I am working part-time from home for VIPKID. This company allows me to teach English to Chinese students online. It's been a fun and interesting experience.
I am married to a wonderful guy of 3 years and just moved to Lisle from the city. I love to read, bike, walk, go camping, travel, hang out with friends, talk about my walk with Christ and encourage women. I'm looking forward to being a mom and jumping back into the classroom in the Fall of 2019.

I can't wait to connect with many of you as we join together in bettering ourselves for the sake of our students. Thank you for checking out my blog and stay tuned for more!!
Congratulations on your "soon to be" new addition to the family! How exciting for all of you. Which school do you work at in Chicago and what do you hope to teach when you return from your leave? Looking forward to learning with you. If you need to chat about anything class-related before October let me know!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! My husband and I are very excited about our little boy's arrival. I was working for Horizon Science Academy - Belmont (a charter school). Since my recent move to Lisle, I hope to be able to teach at an Elementary school in Lisle or a neighboring district. I want to teach grades 3-5 because students are more independent and I can incorporate more technology into my everyday learning with Math/ELA centers as well as research for Science and Social Studies. I was teaching second grade this last year and it was very difficult to do this for many reasons, such as not even knowing how to maneuver the Chromebooks. I'm looking forward to learning so much more about technology and using it in Education both with students or as a teacher. Furthermore, I think this class could give me some guidance on using technology in my personal life through blogging or when I become a women's speaker.
