All About Mrs. Schneider

This is my second year at IHK.  I am the Reading Intervention Teacher.  I work with 1st graders in the mornings in King's Castle and 3rd-5th graders in the afternoons.  I am also the Newspaper Club sponsor.  I enjoy working with the students, staff, and parents at IHK.

Education and Experience

I graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana in May of 2002.  I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education.  I also have a Reading minor and a Computer endorsement.  I taught in both a Multiage Intermediate classroom (3rd-5th) and a Multiage Primary classroom (1st-2nd)  before moving to Illinois.  I plan to continue my education in the Fall of 2006 at Lewis University.  I will be attending to receive my Masters in Reading and Literacy.

Educational Beliefs

“ Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I understand.”  I believe that students understand more when they are able to participate in hands-on activities.  I have a passion for teaching, a love for learning, and dedication to children.  It is very important to me to be a positive role model to the students at IHK.  I care very much for my students and hope they grow up to be life long learners and contributing members of society.

Hobbies

I like to read, volunteer, work on the computer, and spend time with my family and friends.  I like to keep busy!
