About Ms. McEllen
I graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a concentration in mathematics. I have endorsements in math, science, social science, and english. This year I am starting a 2 year masters program at Northeastern Illinois for a masters in literacy with a reading specialist endorsement.
This will be my third year teaching. I spent the previous two years teaching 3rd grade in another school district. I student taught at Windsor Elementary School and I am so excited to be back! I look forward to working with each and everyone of my students individually to learn their strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. I strive to create a positive classroom environment by learning content through inquiry activities, practicing skills through games, differentiating my lessons to make sure every student is being challenged, and by making sure students are recognized for their hard work. |
