About Ms. Chappa  Hello! Here is a little bit of information about myself to help you get to know me. This is my third year teaching second grade at Westwood. I attended St. Norbert College for my undergrad degree and am currently attending Marian University for my Masters in Education Technology. I have been learning all sorts of fun things on how to incorporate technology into the classroom using things like Wikis, iPods, SmartBoards, and Digital Cameras to name a few.

This past summer I spent most of my weekends camping in Door County. I was also able to take a trip to Houston where I learned that it is the fourth largest city in our country when measured in square miles! While I was in Texas, I got to go to Galveston and see the Gulf of Mexico (the first picture). I also spent time with my wonderful family and our boxer dogs, Montanna and Meli. (Montanna is pictured.)

When I am not teaching I enjoy being outdoors walking, running, camping, or just enjoying the sunshine. I love reading good books like __The BFG__ and __Charlotte's Web.__ I also enjoy watching the Brewers play, even if they aren't always winning.

It is my goal to provide a fun, comfortable and safe learning community for my students. I hold high expectations for my students and encourage them to ask questions, think critically, and practice problem-solving. I will be doing my best throughout the school year to help my students achieve success!
