Mrs. Danielle Haubert » Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Hello Kindergarten Families,
 
I am so excited to be in my ninth year here at St. Joseph Catholic School!
 

I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in elementary education. I have taught Kindergarten for many years and before that I was a fourth grade teacher.  I am excited to be part of a Catholic school environment to cultivate a love for learning and to help my students grow in their relationship with Christ.  

In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking around the local parks and cheering on the Chicago Blackhawks.

I look forward to a wonderful year!

We have started our Writing Unit on Characters.
Today's character is Corduroy.
Ask your child who characters are.
Help your child to point them out in books and explain who they are, how they look, how they act and what is special about them. 
Today in Mass, Father Jake told us it was Mary's birthday. 
He reminded us to have pure hearts and follow Jesus like Mary did.
