Welcome Back to School!

     I am excited to be teaching second grade again this year!  It is so exciting to see how much second graders grow, both academically and socially. There are many things I love about teaching, but one of my favorites is the relationship that I get to build with my students AND their families! 

     This will be my 18th year teaching in Oak Park.  I started my career here and could not imagine being anywhere else.  I have two kids of my own, Emmy will be in seventh grade this year and Charlie will be in fifth grade.  They will attend schools near our home in Western Springs. 

     As we start the year, please know that I am always available through email and am happy to answer any questions you might have. My email address is lpelling@op97.org.

     I'm looking forward to the first day of school.  See you on August 28th!
