Mrs. Cooper's Bio

This is my 19th year of teaching in the Chicago Public Schools and my 15th year at Decatur.  In my 19 years of teaching, I have taught everything from 1st grade to 8th grade!  Literacy & Social Studies are passions of mine and I am very excited to be teaching 4th & 5th grade English Literacy and Social Studies this year.    
 
I received my undergraduate degree from DePauw University in elementary education and history.  Later I attended DePaul University and received my master’s degree as a reading specialist with a focus on learning disabilities.  I'm excited to be utilizing my background in history & literacy in my classroom on a daily basis. I'm lucky to be able to teach two of my favorite subjects this year! 
 
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, figure skating, and doing needlepoint.
