Welcome to Mrs. Ricotta's
Second Grade

Welcome to your child's second grade classroom! I am excited to begin a new year!  My goal as your child's teacher is to facilitate your child's academic, social, personal, and spiritual growth.  In order to help your child reach his/her potential in these areas I will be using a variety of materials and methods.

Here's a little about myself:  I graduated from Trinity Christian University in Deerfield with a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education, and from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb with my Masters of Science in Education.

This is my eighth year teaching Second Grade at St. Thomas More. I also taught sixth grade part time, and second grade in Niles as well as Lake Zurich. I am married with three children. We have a Golden Retriever named Bentley, and two canaries named Mac and Cheese.
