Dear Parents,

Hello, My name is Mrs. Parduhn and I am very excited to be your child's First Grade Teacher this year! I have been a teacher at Matteson Elementary School for 13 years!  I am a highly qualified teacher with a BA in Elementary Education. 

My teaching philosophy is simple. I love teaching, and my passion is to teach my students to love learning! It is so important to instill a love of reading and learning at a young age.
