Greetings from Kindergarten! I am Mrs. Johnson, your child's Kindergarten teacher at Creston School! I have been teaching for 11 years. This school year begins my 9th year at Creston. I taught two years here in third grade and have been at Kindergarten ever since. I truly enjoy the enthusiasm and excitement that Kindergartners bring to school daily.

My family and I live in rural Rochelle. My husband, Brian, is a Firefighter and carpenter. We have a son, Ben, who is a sophomore at NIU and a Volunteer Firefighter. Our daughter, Emily, is a senior in high school, and has all the musical talent in our family. We have two dogs and a cat.

I am a true animal lover, having always had a horse, dog, or cat my entire life. In my free time, I like to help my husband with carpentry projects, sew, craft, hunt antiques, and visit the gym. I also love searching for projects and planning activities for the classroom.

Kindergarten is full of fun activities. We work through several units as the year progresses. During the Gingerbreak Unit, we have a class play, bake cookies and have fun in our bakery center. During our Postal Unit, we write letters, learn about addresses, have fun in our Post Office center, and take a field trip to the real Creston Post Office. During our Thanksgiving Unit, we play Native American/Pilgrim Games and enjoy a feast together!
