Page history last edited by Denise Conner 2 mos ago

Welcome to Room 1. My name is Denise Conner; I am starting my eighth year of teaching and my fourth year at Blue Grass Elementary.

I have previous experience with preschool, special education, and kindergarten. I would like to let you know a little bit about my family and myself. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood /Special Education with a reading endorsement from St. Ambrose University, and a Masters Degree from Ashford University in Teaching and Learning with Technology. This summer I completed my second Masters Degree in Reading and Literacy from Walden University!

I live with my husband and daughters in Davenport. My husband works for Hormel Foods in Eldridge and my daughter Corea is 6 and in first grade at Blue Grass. My youngest daughter Jayden is 4 and attends St. Ambrose Children’s Campus. Life wouldn’t be complete without our pets; we have a golden retriever named Zoie and two pugs named PJ and Milo. Our class pet that will soon be ending his summer vacation at my house and returning to school is Rocco the adopted guinea pig who is a little shy but warms up and purrs all the time!
