Ms. Liberman's Biography

Hi! My name is Jennifer Liberman and this will be my third year at Decatur and my fifth year teaching! I grew up on the north side of Chicago, attended Western Michigan for my undergraduate, and then I came back to Chicago and got my masters in Early Childhood Education from Erikson Institute.
 
Creating a fun and welcoming learning environment is my passion. I believe that when students feel comfortable and engaged, they can thrive academically and socially. I strive to make each day in the classroom exciting! As an educator, I deeply care about the whole student. Building strong relationships with my students and families is a priority for me.
 
Outside of school, I love reading and engaging in sports. Whether it's cheering on the Bears or actively participating, sports have always been a big part of my life. Reading allows me to unwind and explore different worlds, and I encourage my students to develop a love for books as well.
 
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know!
