Greetings!

Welcome to First Grade...Room 1B!

    My name is Mrs. Spittal.  This is my thirteenth year of teaching...twelfth year in this district.  However, this is my fourth year teaching first grade.  My previous years were spent teaching in the Pre-K program.  

     I was born and raised in Bourbonnais.  I graduated high school from B.B.C.H.S, continued my education at Olivet Nazarene University with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and then obtained my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, also from Olivet.  

    I am married to my husband, Ryan, of eleven years and have three great kids...Jack, 7 years, and Kate, 4 years and our newest addition as of August, our baby girl, Quinn...who remind me that being a parent is the hardest but most rewarding job there is.

    My hope as a teacher of young children is to help each child enjoy learning. I want school, especially my classroom, to be a fun, safe environment where success is experienced daily.

    Listed below are the expectations of a first grader along with the spelling words for the month and any important dates.  If you should have any questions or concerns please feel free to send a note with your child, e-mail me at jspittal@cusd4.org or phone me at 697-2642.  

Thank you for the privilege of teaching your child!
