Hello and welcome! My name is Mrs. Kendra Cappelen and I'm excited to be your teacher this year! I am married to my husband Matt and we have 2 boys together, Mason who is 4 and Gavin who just turned 2. Matt works in Rolling Meadows as a firefighter/paramedic and we live in Elk Grove Village with our dog, Theo.

This year will be my 13th year teaching. I've taught kindergarten, first and second grade. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2010 with a B.S. in Elementary Education and obtained my ESL certification in 2012. I love watching my students grow and am looking forward to doing the same this year!

Second grade is an exciting time as children continue to embark on new adventures in the world of learning. This year your child will continue to grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, and so much more. I hope to make your child's learning experience a fun and exciting one while instilling a love of learning that will last a lifetime. With so much going on it is extremely important that we build on small successes. Each child will progress at his/her own rate, acquiring skills as they are developmentally ready. Maintaining each child's self-esteem and building a secure foundation for future growth will always remain a priority in my classroom.

Throughout the year we will be posting updates on curriculum goals and important events happening in second grade. My goal is to maintain an open line of communication with you and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns that may arise throughout the year. The easiest and most immediate way to reach me is through email, but I can also be reached through notes or before/after school over the phone. I am looking forward to a great school year and working closely with you to ensure nothing but the best for your child!
