Welcome to Mrs. Daniels' Class Page!!

Welcome to a new year of learning! I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself; I am Mrs. Daniels and I am honored to be your child’s teacher for the 2018-2019 school year at Illinois Elementary School.

I'm really looking forward to working with your child as they learn about the world through reading, literature, writing, history,  and the use of technology. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn about each other in the days ahead. Our classroom theme is “A Whole New World!” In addition to our curriculum, we will be taking what we learn and applying it to “real world” situations, as we learn about the world through other continents, countries, cities, environments, cultures and characters in  reading, the language arts, and the social studies. 

An important part of every child’s blueprint for success is a great parent-teacher relationship. Communication between us is key in order for our children to thrive and learn. I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at any time. You can send me a note, email me at adaniels@sd162.org, or call me at the school, 708-747-0301 x 2512. I will be sure to answer your email or return your call within 24 hours.

You will also be able to see what is happening in our classroom by logging on here at Schoolwires for school wide and class specific news; and from there, logging onto PowerSchool to keep abreast of your child’s grades. There you will find updates on what we have been doing in class, and what is up and coming. Schoolwires is also there for parents to keep track of their child’s grades, assignments, school wide events and activities, homework, and links to websites for both extra practice and for fun. 

Remind.com is also available for your use, if you prefer that method of communication for daily and instant messages to me. Again, I will respond as soon as possible; definitely within 24 hours. The sign up sheets were sent home with your child at the beginning of this year;if you need that information, please let me know.

Conversely, if I have any individual concerns, I will contact you by the method you most prefer. Please send that preference by completing the Student Information sheet. Please let me know if you need one of these sheets.

Looking forward to an exciting year for the Fabulous Fifth Graders of 2018-2019!!
