All About Me
Hello!  My name is Christina Sondej(like the day of the week-Sunday)and I would like to share with you a little about myself.  I have known since I was very young that I wanted to be a teacher.  I started assisting with a Religious Education program when I was 10.  When I was 15, I taught my own 2nd grade class and was the 2nd grade level coordinator.  I taught both 2nd and 3rd grade for 7 years until I moved. 
  I taught preschool while I attended Saint Xavier University.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education (birth through 3rd grade) and have Special Education approval from the Illinois State Board of Education.
  I am certified in Will County.  I have substituted for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade and for a graduate requirement, I student taught 3rd grade.  When I moved out to DuPage County I taught Kindergarten for 2 years and this is my 7th year teaching 1st grade (and I love 1st grade!)  St. Dominic's is a wonderful school and we are going to have a fun-filled, learning experience!
I have lived in NapervilleTownship for almost 9 years now and I love the area.  My husband (a deputy sheriff) and I were married at St. Dominic's in September,2004 and we were so happy to have my first graders sing at the wedding and to see many St. Dom families there!
We spend alot of time taking care of our baby, Felicity!  Felicity is a chow, border collie mix who was adopted from an Animal Welfare League.  You can click on the picture below to see her!
