| 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! |
