My name is Stephanie McGinn and I am thrilled to be teaching 1st grade for my fourth year at St. Viator! I taught 2nd grade for 4 years in Philadelphia, PA before moving to Chicago. Since then, I was a special education assistant in Glenview while I received my Special Education teaching certificate. I am so excited to be back in the classroom, teaching 1st grade!
I have been married to my husband Mike for almost two years. We got married in my hometown of Milwaukee on a windy, sunny day. We love to travel. This summer, we went on a road trip from Seattle to Portland.
I am originally from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Go Badgers! In my spare time, I love exploring the city (especially new restaurants!), hanging out with my three nieces and nephew and the class guinea pig, Cocoa!
My favorite thing about teaching is watching a new or difficult concept suddenly "click" with one of my students. I also absolutely adore having conversations with my kids each day, and letting them know I am here for them!
