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 2019 - 2020 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 social studies. Learning in our classroom will be fun; hopefully I will be able to instill in your child a love of reading and a desire for knowledge. 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 by reading literature, the language arts, and  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 contact me by sending a note, emailing me at adaniels@sd162.org, or by calling me at the school, 708-747-0301 x 2512. I will be sure to respond to you within 24 hours.

You will also be able to see what is happening in our classroom by logging on here at sd162.org for school wide and class specific news; and from there, logging onto PowerSchool to stay informed of your child’s progress and grades. There you will find updates on what we have been doing in class, and what is up and coming. It is updated weekly. This page is also here for parents to keep track of your child’s grades, assignments, school wide events and activities, homework, and links to websites for both extra practice and for fun. 

Class Dojo is another way to reach me. This is the school's method of keeping you instantly updated on a daily basis, as to your child's academic and behavioral status. If you are not already a member of Class Dojo, please expect and accept the invitation you will receive. 

 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 Grade Superheroes of 2019- 2020!!
