Introduction

Hi! My name is Mrs. Horeis and I will be teaching the wonderful third graders in room 500 while Ms. Bondarew is away this spring.

I am originally from Canada, but before moving to Chicago I taught English to elementary and middle school students in Japan. I returned to North America to get my teaching certificate and a master's degree in elementary education, and since then I have taught many classes at Goethe. I am already familiar with the students in room 500, as I frequently volunteered in Ms. Bouska's second grade class last year and I have spent the last few days shadowing Ms. Bondarew.

I am delighted to be here at Goethe Elementary School, and I am looking forward to helping the third graders rock the ISAT next week! Once ISAT testing is over, check back here for information on all the exciting things we are learning in room 500.
