Hello! I'm Ms. Arnold, and I’m absolutely delighted to be starting my third year teaching 4th grade! My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that my true calling is in the classroom, helping young minds grow.
Before I found my home in 4th grade, I spent four wonderful years as a Montessori Teacher's Assistant for grades 1-3. I then had the privilege of working in the Special Education Department of Lake County for another four years, where I dedicated myself to helping students navigate their day.
Teaching 4th grade has been an absolute joy, and I love every moment of it. There’s nothing quite like the excitement and curiosity that fills our classroom each day. I’m so excited to start this new school year and can’t wait to embark on another incredible journey of growth and learning with my students!
In addition to my passion for teaching, I’m also a proud mom of three amazing kids—a sophomore at Carmel Catholic High School, an 8th grader, and a 5th grader. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our white miniature schnauzer, Miko. We love spending time outdoors, whether we’re hiking, biking, swimming, or enjoying all kinds of watersports. Family adventures are a big part of our lives, and I bring that same sense of fun and exploration into my classroom!
I’m so lucky to have the support of two wonderful teacher's aides, Susan Broken and Andrea Graham. Their expertise and commitment are truly invaluable, and I couldn’t be more excited to have them as part of our classroom team. Together, we’re ready to make this year a fantastic one for our students!

Sincerely, Ms. Arnold
