Mrs. Khatoon's Bio

Hello Families,

A little about myself, I grew up in India with my parents and three siblings. I have been living in Chicago for the past 13 years. I am married and have three amazing children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, and making memories with my family.

I pursued my passion of becoming an Early Childhood Educator at Northeastern Illinois University with an endorsement in English as a Second Language. This year will be my Third year teaching at Decatur and I am beyond thrilled to be teaching your student!

As a parent myself, I intimately understand the hopes and dreams you hold for your little ones. With my professional teaching license and a wealth of experience guiding students from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade, I am here to ensure that your child's learning journey is nothing short of amazing.

For me, education is not just about academics, I believe in cultivating a safe and harmonious classroom environment, where their social-emotional growth is nurtured alongside their academic skills.

 

Together, let's embark on an unforgettable educational adventure!
