And now....a word from Mrs. Goldman herself....

This is my 5th year teaching at Hawthorn Elementary South.  I taught 5th grade for the last 4 years.  This is my first time teaching 4th grade and I am so excited for something new!  Before I came to Hawthorn, I was an assistant teacher in Glenview District #34 for 3 years.  I received my undergraduate degree in Family Services from Eastern Illinois University.  I received my Masters Degree from National-Louis University in 2007.  I also recently completed my second Master’s in School Leadership this Summer!  Maybe one day I will be a principal?! I love teaching because I love to learn new things everyday!  I look forward to a great year teaching your child!  Feel free to email me or call if you have any questions or concerns.  I firmly believe in building a strong relationship with parents in order to ensure the best possible educational experience for your child.  This website was created in order to enhance communication between the teacher, the parents, and the students.
