My name is Alexis Sterbenz, and I am so excited to be your child's first grade teacher! This will be my sixteenth year teaching first grade at Big Hollow- wow, does time fly! I graduated from the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana - GO ILLINI! Later, I received my Master's in Education from Webster University. I then completed my ESL (English as a second Language) endorsement in hopes to better help my students who are English language learners.
My family consists of my wonderful husband, Eric, and our two amazing little girls, Adelyn (8) and Blakely (6). I also can't forget to tell you about Remie, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She is looking forward to the upcoming hunting season with my husband!
My teaching style is a hands-on approach of active learning through the use of centers, reading and writing workshops, and math lessons using a variety of manipulatives. I try to make learning fun! I teach the children to learn to read strategically, which will help them in future grades. I believe in a strong home and school connection - by working as a team, we will help your child be the best he/she can be in first grade! I strive to fulfill a lifelong love for reading and learning in my students. Most of all I want your child to feel success every day while developing new and exciting skills.
Thanks for reading about me- I am looking forward to getting to know your family too! Please feel free to write, call, or email me whenever you have questions or concerns. We are going to have a great year!
