Who is My Teacher?

An Autobiography of Mrs. Heidenreich

          My name is Mrs. Heidenreich.  There are many interesting things about me that I am sure you would like to know.  I hope this autobiography helps to answer some of your questions about me.

          I was born in a small town in Illinois called Watseka.  Watseka is about 20 miles from the even smaller town where I grew up.  I grew up on a farm outside of the town of Claytonville, Illinois.  My parents still live there.  My dad was a farmer and my mom was a stay at home mom.  When I was a kid, I use to ride my bike and explore many different places near my home.  I like to visit my parents because it is very quiet and peaceful.  I now have a husband that works at Shelbyville High School, a daughter named Hannah who is in fourth grade, and a son named Jonathon who is in second grade.

          I went to college at Butler University.  I decided to become a teacher because I have always loved school and I liked working with children.  I taught the past 7 years at a school in Indianapolis called St. Roch.  At St. Roch, I taught 3^rd grade.  My favorite subject to teach is reading and writing.

          When I am at home and have nothing to do, I really enjoy reading.  Over the summer I read a lot of books!  I read the new Harry Potter book.  I usually read mystery books.  I also like to make desserts.  I love anything chocolate!  I also like to scrapbook, watch movies, and I just started to play the piano.  One thing I don’t like to do is sit.  I like to be doing something.  I don’t really like to clean but I like a clean house so I do clean, a lot I might add!

          In 25 years or so when I retire, I will spend a lot of time with my family.  By then, I should have grandchildren and I will want to play with them a lot.  I would love to travel and see places that I have never seen before.  I will probably read and maybe catch up on my scrapbooking!

          I hope that this was valuable to you.  There is so much more that I could tell you about myself.  Maybe you thought of things you would like to ask me.  I am sure that you will know me quite well by the end of our school year together.
