About Miss Scanlon
Hello and welcome to the 3rd Grade! My name is Miss Scanlon and this will be my third year at Saint Isidore. I have lived in the Chicagoland area my whole life and graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with Endorsements in Language Arts, Science, and a Minor as a Reading Teacher. I currently reside in Naperville and have an older sister who is a Spanish teacher at Saints Peter and Paul, a younger sister that is a sophomore at Illinois State University, as well as a younger brother who is in the 7th grade at Saints Peter and Paul School. Outside of my teaching vocation, I also enjoy bike riding, taking my dog Charlie on long walks, and being outdoors!
I have very high expectations for each of my students and believe that an effective classroom is one in which students feel they are part of a community. This community involves each student having their own role and responsibility. I believe that classroom community can be achieved through communication as well as sharing and learning about each of our own families, cultures, interests, learning styles, hopes, and dreams.
As third graders, my goals include that students become more independent by being able to make good decisions, staying on task, working effectively, and that students come to class ready to learn each day. As part of this community, I will demonstrate my role as a teacher in providing the skills your child needs to order to obtain the knowledge through a variety of methods. This includes hands on activities, collaborative learning, extensive use of technology, and proper materials that reinforce the chance for students to uncover and compose a world full of knowledge. It is also my goal to ensure that each of your children succeed in third grade, to reach their fullest potential, that they are motivated, engaged, and that they take pride and ownership in their education. It is also my goal to communicate with you throughout your child’s journey to personal achievement.
I believe that teaching is a vocation in which individuals are called to not only work, but to serve those people, which in this case is to open the minds of children through dedication and service. With this being said, I believe my role as an educator at Saint Isidore is to not only live out my life with God as the focus, but instill this belief within my everyday teaching. As teachers in a Catholic School, we play an important role in transmitting the Faith. Imitating our one Teacher, Jesus Christ, I believe it is my role to carry out the Christian message, not just by word, but also by actions as well as guiding students to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in their Catholic identity. I am honored to be working at such a wonderful school. I am also delighted to have your child in my classroom and am looking forward to getting to know him/her, as well as all of you.
This is going to be a wonderful year and with your help we will have a successful third grade year!
God Bless,
Miss Scanlon
