Welcome to the Wonderful World of First Grade!

My name is Brenda Yohnka and I have the pleasure of being the classroom 1D teacher. This is my third year of teaching first grade here at Chebanse Grade School.
I was born in Chicago and raised in Clifton, a graduate of Central High School. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Illinois State University and my Masters of Art in teaching from Olivet Nazarene University. I reside in Clifton with my husband Greg, teenagers Austin and Elizabeth, our cat Mitzy, and our puppy, Rocko. Needless to say, my life is very busy and fulfilling!
First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. During first grade your child will learn how to read, write stories, add, subtract, and so much more. I hope to make your child's learning experience a fun and exciting one, and I hope to instill a love of learning that will last a lifetime!
