Meet the Teacher

Hello!  My name is Mrs. Kelly. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and we have two sons, ages 15 and 10.  The oldest attends Alleman and the youngest attends Seton.  We have a dog named Sydney Beatrice.    

I graduated from Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  Then in 1997 I earned a Master's of Science in Education degree from Western Illinois University.  I have spent most of my teaching career teaching second grade and while I loved teaching second grade, I was recently ready for a change.  This will be my second year of teaching sixth grade math and reading.  I LOVE it! 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my boys in their activities, walking, going to the movies, reading books and working on our classroom web site.  I feel very lucky to work at Seton with such an amazing staff of teachers and a wonderful administration.

A Teacher's Prayer

Lord in heaven, help me never to forget the beauty in a little child. 
Never let me forget the wonder and trust and yearning in their bright, twinkling eyes.
Help me to remember that I am shaping the lives of tomorrow's generation. 
And, though I am unworthy of this precious charge,
give me the strength to be the best model scholar and the best Christian example that I can possibly be.  
Give me love to overcome adversity. 
Give me patience to overcome trials. 
Give me wisdom to overcome my shortcomings.
Give me faith to overcome dark hours. 
And, as I find my rest tonight, help me to love my pupils and to remember them in my prayers. 
Give me strength to be equal to tomorrow's task, for I depend on you alone, just as my pupils depend on me.

Amen
