A big welcome to all my new third graders and their parents!   

      I know that it can be a little scary getting a new teacher so; I wanted to let you know a little bit about myself.  I grew up in Waukesha WI.  I have known since the first grade that I have wanted to be a teacher.  So after high school I headed to Carthage College, in Kenosha, IL where I studied to become a teacher.  I loved Wisconsin but my husband was from Illinois so I packed up my bags and moved to Aurora, Illinois.  I did my student teaching in district 204.  Right after student teaching; I was very excited to get a job in District 308.  Then in 2006 I received my Masters in Education from Olivet of Nazarene.  I always tell my students that you are never too old to stop learning.  I have worked at East View Elementary teaching third grade for the past six years.  That brings me to now as is this will be my first year at Wolfs Crossing.  I am so excited to be a part of the Wolfs Crossing team!  I can’t wait to start my new adventure! 

      On a personal note I have been married for four years.  I have 2 dogs, a fish and a snake. The Navar’s are huge animal lovers.  I also have a 6 month old little boy named Malachi, we call him Kye.  Life these days is keeping me pretty busy.   

      I am sure everyone loves summer, but it is that time again and I can’t wait to get started with a new school year!  I look forward to bonding with each child in my class.  Third grade is a wonderful grade and I am sure it will be a year of growth both academically and socially.  I will be working with the parents and kids to help each child reach their full potential.  I know if parents, students, school staff and educators work as a team anything is possible.  I can’t wait for us to have a great year!
