Welcome to First Grade!

 

Hello Lakewood Creek Coyotes!  My name is Kaila Van Cott and I will be your child`s first grade teacher!  I am looking forward to the upcoming school year, and having the opportunity to work with your child and see him/her grow in so many ways throughout the year!  I will now tell you a little bit about myself.

 

I grew up in Bartlett, Illinois.  In May 2006, I graduated from Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL).  Following graduation I taught reading for one year in Bolingbrook, IL and then joined the Lakewood Creek community.  Currently, I am enrolled at Olivet University in order to earn a Masters degree as a Reading Specialist. I will complete my degree in February of 2010. 

 

I have been married to my best friend for over a year now.  I live with my husband, Tim, in Wheaton, and I love spending time with my family and friends.  I also enjoy being outside and staying active!  You can find me playing sports of all kinds, but my favorites include: basketball, volleyball, softball, and tennis. 

 

This is my third year teaching 1st grade at Lakewood Creek.  I enjoy being a part of the Lakewood Creek community and am looking forward to beginning this wonderful journey with you and your child. By working together, your child will develop a love for learning and will strive to do the best he/she can!

 

If you have any questions or need any assistance that I can provide, please feel free to contact me!
