Carl Sandburg Elementary School -

I have taught for CUSD 1 since 1991. After two years of teaching second grade, I moved to third grade and have been there since. I graduated from EIU with both my bachelor and masters degrees. I am married to my husband, Bill. I have one child, Chase and three adult married stepchildren. In my free time I enjoy traveling in our Rv, boating, reading, playing trivia, and going to concerts. I have three dogs including two Boston terriers and a chocolate lab.

I have been teaching 3rd Grade at Carl Sandburg Elementary since 2014.

I have been teaching in the district since 2020. I am a CBE pilot teacher. I am from Paris, IL and moved to Charleston after graduating from Illinois State. I have loved being in this district and community!

I started my teaching career in Colorado in 2014. Being a Charleston native, I was excited to join this district in 2017, and I've been teaching 3rd grade ever since! I'm a CBE teacher and enjoy giving students unique learning opportunities. As a mom of two rambunctious boys, Arlo and Teddy, I spend a lot of time with my family making memories when I'm not in the classroom.

I began teaching at Carl Sandburg in 2013. I have a Bachelors degree in elementary education from the University of Illinois (Go Illini!) and a Masters in education and reading instruction from Eastern Illinois University.

I am a 3rd grade teacher at Carl Sandburg. I have been teaching here since 2019.

Hi! I'm a third grade teacher at Carl Sandburg School. I started my teaching career in 2017 but this is my first year teaching in the Charleston School District. I am so excited to be here! I am looking forward to a great year!

Mrs. Cline has been a teacher for the Charleston Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program since 2014. Prior to this, she taught as a substitute for six years in Charleston and Mattoon. She earned her first B.S. in Management at Purdue University in 1990 and later, a second B.S. in Elementary Education from Eastern Illinois University. Between earning those two degrees, she stayed at home to care for her 3 children as her husband was in the Navy. Her family moved states 7 times in their 11 years in the Navy. Mrs. Cline's family moved to Charleston in 2004 and all of her children have graduated from Charleston High School. Her oldest daughter is now a nurse in North Carolina. Her youngest daughter is a marketing accounts manager and lives in Georgia. Her youngest son is a tax accountant in Chicago. In her free time, Mrs. Cline likes to travel and eat (taking food-on-foot tours is one of her favorite vacation activities.) She loves reading (especially historical fiction) and singing and is a member of a few choral groups and barbershop quartets. Mrs. Cline enjoys working with students in robotics and sharing logic puzzles and especially enjoys teaching Math.

I grew up in Champaign and attended the University of Iowa. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and continued living in Iowa City for 9 years. I then moved to Charleston, where I earned my teaching certificate and Master's degree, both in Special Education. I currently teach 1st and 2nd Graders and work with them in my classroom as well as in their homerooms. I have a 22-year old daughter who works at Starbucks. She enjoys taking care of and visiting with her customers. We love to watch movies, travel and play with our little dog, Mater!
