About Mrs. Hall
The 2011 - 2012 school year is the start of my tenth year teaching 5th grade in Minooka District 201. Prior to 5th grade, I taught 3rd grade in the District for five years. And prior to Minooka, I taught first grade in New Jersey and second grade in Maine.
I am originally from New Jersey. My husband's job transfer in 1994 brought our family to Channahon. He is a chemical engineer. We have been happily married for thirty-four years. My hobbies include reading, counted cross-stitch needlework, and riding my bike.
My son Brandon is married , and he and his wife, Elaine, have one son, William, who is my first wonderful grandchild. Brandon graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in English. While at ISU, he and a friend started a competitive paintball team.
Jenna, my daughter, is the first assistant coach for the Ohio University Bobcats softball team. She graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in American History. While at Illinois, she played 1st base for the Fighting Illini softball team. Jenna was a 1st team All American and an Academic All American her senior year. After college, she played professional softball for three years with the Philadelphia Force.
My philosophy of teaching is to create an environment in my classroom in which students are encouraged to do their best. I do my best to help the children I am privileged to teach achieve their goals. I also do my best to encourage responsibility. The number one factor in helping children achieve their goals and become responsible citizens is parent-teacher communication. You may contact me via email (thall@min201.org), telephone (815 467 4692, ext. 2202) or by sending in a note. I will make every effort to get back to you ASAP.
