Intro+to+Katie+Wilhelm

**Hi there! My name is Katie Wilhelm. I am in the Master's of Arts in Teaching - Elementary Education Program. I have my undergraduate degree in Music Education from the University of Illinois - Go Illini! I work at a promotional marketing company and am a bartender on the weekends. My ideal grade to teach would be third or fourth grade, but I'm definitely open to anything! I really like the younger grades and am excited to learn more about teaching Kindergarten.



I grew up on the northwest side of Chicago with my parents and my two brothers: Mark and Tom. My Dad's from the south side, however, so I was born and raised a Sox fan!



I am in a Show Choir called the Chicago Redline that my college friends and I formed a year ago. We perform at Davenport's Cabaret in Wicker Park - singing and dancing and fun! They are one of my favorite groups of people:)

 **These are two of my best friends in the whole world and they both live far away from me right now - Angie lives in Rockford and Said lives in Houston.



I have two cats that live with my parents. Their names are Cherokee and McClane (after Bruce Willis in Die Hard). This is when they were babies...



My favorite day of the whole year is the Fourth of July! I love fireworks, barbecues, summer, and hanging with my family and friends!



I am a Mac user and I look forward to learning how to make the most of all the programs I have on my computer. I am excited to experiment with new and innovative ways to use technology in classrooms of all ages. See you soon! :)
