About Sarah Cross

This will be my 10th year teaching first grade at Woodland Elementary East.  
I love teaching first grade because of how much the students learn and grow.  
I especially enjoy watching them blossom as readers.  I received my B.A. in 
Education from Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois.  Last 
spring I finished my ESL Endorsement at CLC. 

The man in the above picture is my wonderful husband John. John and I got 
married in June of 2007. We like to travel and hang out with family and 
friends. Our family pet is our dog Stella.  Stella is a two year old shepherd 
mix who still has a lot of energy. Last year I got two tiny African Dwarf 
Frogs for the classroom that have been spending the summer with us as 
well. :)  

This summer I had a wonderful time visiting my family in Ohio and having my 
husband's family visit from North Carolina.  I also enjoyed working for the 
Deerfield Park District as a site director for one of their 5 year old day 
camps. In any season, however, I find pleasure in exploring new places and 
trying new things.  I look forward to another wonderful year in First Grade!
