About Me
Mrs. Cory
I am Mrs. Cory. I love teaching and I am happy to begin my 10th year at Westgate. First grade was my favorite year in school, which makes teaching this grade very special to me! I went to the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and studied psychology. After I graduated, I worked at a non-profit organization for five years where I spent time working in schools. I loved working in the classroom and decided to return to school to become a teacher. I attended graduate school at National Louis University in Chicago. I have a five year old daughter named Lila and a two year old daughter named Lucy. My family also has two dogs named Abbie and Chloe. I grew up in Brookfield near the zoo, which probably has played a role in my love of animals. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time outdoors and outings with my family.
Fun Facts
* I taught kindergarten my first year at Westgate.
* I wanted to be an astronaut when I was in first grade.
* Polar bears are my favorite animal.
* I love game shows.
* My favorite color is yellow,
* My family did our first Disney trip this summer.
* I love to do crafts, board games, and bake with my family.
* Groundhog Day is one of my favorite holidays.
* I have two older sisters.
* I live in Arlington Heights.
