Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at Greenwood Elementary!

Greenwood Elementary kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with our first author visit of the school year! We were excited to welcome Mrs. Milagros Wallace, author of Gregorina en Chicago, who shared her book with our students and brought her own experiences growing up in Chicago to life.

Our students loved hearing her story, learning about her experiences, and seeing how our community can inspire the stories we tell.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Milagros Wallace for visiting Greenwood and helping our students celebrate culture, heritage, and the power of storytelling!

It was a busy Friday morning in Ms. Gannuscio’s classroom as Tech Coach Mrs. Cann worked with her 3rd grade students on their first technology integrated project of the year!

The students began by discussing the importance of being responsible digital citizens and taking care of their Chromebooks. They then put their creativity to work by designing personalized name tags to apply to their devices.

This project was about more than creating name tags it was an opportunity for students to build confidence as problem solvers, creators, and digital thinkers. Along the way, they practiced listening, following step-by-step directions, and being patient throughout the design process.

What a fun and engaging way for students to take ownership of their learning and the technology tools that help support it!

What is one piece of advice you would give?
Never change who you are to gain someone else's attention. Just be you! A friend worth having will appreciate you for being yourself.

One favorite teaching memory?
I will always treasure working with Mrs. Stallings, Mrs. Sockwell, Mr. Poore, Mrs. Cook, and Mrs. Walker-Harris to name a few and helping produce some of the greatest dramatic performances the District has ever had. Mr. Poore is truly a genius with a pen!

Ms. Anderson
5th Grade Teacher
Years in Education: 35
Years of Service at South Holland SD150: 34.5

What is one piece of advice you would give?
I'm probably not one to give advice, but trust in God and good things will happen. Every day is a gift to learn from our mistakes and make better choices. Give yourself and others grace.

One favorite teaching memory?
There’s no way I can choose one favorite memory from 30 plus years of teaching. But one of the best things about being a teacher is meeting other teachers who UNDERSTAND the ups and downs. The teachers in District 150 are amazing, and I was blessed to teach 4th grade with "The Dream Team" and meet my best friend, Cheryl Dempsey.
