All about me:

My name is Mrs. Barnabee, this is my 11th year at Woodland. This is my first
year as the 3rd Grade Math Specialist. I've taught Third Grade for 2 years at
Elem. West, before that I was the Instructional Technology Advisor at Woodland
Middle School for eight years. In that position I trained and in-serviced all
of the 275 staff members on how to use the district hardware and software
within their classrooms/positions. I also was responsible for all Middle
School MAP Testing and Skyward grade/data input for all staff. I assisted in
writing the District Technology Plan and sat on the LPDC. I have also been a 3
time member of the FACT Committee and also the District Technology Committee.
I currently sit on the Elem. West Committee for creating the new Third Grade
Writing Curriculum. I am also on the District Insurance Committee, the
Certified Staff Evaluation Committee and the Elem. West Technology Vision Team.

I am married and have 2 children...Shana, my daughter is a Freshman at
Warren and my son Nick is a Sophomore at Warren Township HS. We also have
a dog named Maggie who is a 9 year old Australian Shepard. 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northern Illinois University and
I also have a Master's Degree in Education with a specialty in Language Arts &
Literature from Northeastern Illinois University. 

I LOVE Third Grade!
