Hello Room 217 Families! My name is Rachel Nitzkin and I am so very excited to embark on our third grade 2016-2017 journey together! I was lucky enough to begin my teaching career at Ogden this past year, following my student teaching at our wonderful school in 2014. I was born and raised in Farmington Hills, Michigan and am an alumni of the University of Michigan (Go Blue)! I graduated with my Masters in Education from DePaul University, where I became certified in both elementary and special education.
Some of my hobbies include Chicago tourist attractions, any form of fitness, finding good country music, watching Michigan football, or taste testing new restaurants around the city.
I am eager to begin our 2016-17 adventure as partners, teammates, and collaborators. Thank you in advance for sharing your students with me this school year; it will certainly be one to remember!
