Meet the Teacher
Greetings! I am Ms. Zisook (that's, ZIH-zook, like "book") and I am so excited to be your child's third grade teacher! I have a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Studies from the University of Illinois and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Chicago's Urban Teacher Education Program. I am a Bilingual Certified teacher. I love to travel, spend time outdoors, practice yoga, write, and eat food from all over the world. I enjoy being a student, too. This summer, I attended the Teacher Leadership Program at the Park City Math Institute in Utah. I believe that in order to learn, students must feel safe and cared for in the classroom, and I strive to create a learning environment and classroom culture that is supportive, respectful, and accessible for all students. I am looking forward to a great year!
