Mrs. Clousing

Dear Students,

  I am looking forward to working with you this year.  This year will be my 21st year of teaching and 16th year in District 157c.  A little bit about myself... I have been married for 20 years to my husband Roger, we have two beautiful girls Hanna (17) and Kaitlyn (14).  We live on a horse farm with, 5 chickens, 1 Duck (Spice),  2 Beehives, and 1 horse (Lexy).   As you can tell we are true animal lovers. 

I have been teaching ELA my entire career. My favorite series of books are of course the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.  I even have floating candles in my classroom.  It's MAGICAL...  I hope to inspire all of you to love reading. 

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at anytime. [email protected]
