Hello!  My name is Emily Reed, and I'm a graduate of National Louis University out of Chicago with a BA in Early Childhood Education.  This is my second year at Eswood in First Grade.  I'm so happy to be a part of this community!  Over the years, I have spent extensive time in both preschool and kindergarten grades, as well as substitute teaching in lower elementary grades.  My teaching philosophy focuses on the importance of positive relationships in the classroom and individualizing instruction to meet the needs of each student.
