View our class website at: Hi, My name is Mrs. Grider, but you can call me Mrs. G if you would like. I am excited to be your 5th grade teacher for the 2016-2017 school year. This will be my 5th year of teaching. My husband and I have two girls and a French Bulldog. We enjoy living in Crystal Lake and particularly love traveling. I am excited to make this the best school year yet! About me: I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from The University of Illinois – Go Illini - in 2004. I attained my Master’s Degree in Education in 2012 and my certification to teach English as a Second Language in 2015. I love to hear from parents throughout the year. Please always contact me with questions or concerns. I also love to hear from you if you are available to volunteer.
