My name is Jennifer Brandt. I am entering my fifteenth year of teaching Fifth Grade at Komarek, nineteenth teaching all together. I too attended Komarek School, beginning in Kindergarten and graduating from Eighth Grade. I grew up in North Riverside, where I lived for twenty-six years. In 1998, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Illinois State University. In the year 2000, I completed a program through National-Louis University, earning a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Other than teaching Fifth Grade, I began my teaching career as a French instructor of Fifth and Sixth Grade students. French was my minor in college and the love of the language began here at Komarek when I was in 3rd Grade.
My husband, Brian, is also a teacher. We have two sons (Conor - 8 years old & Colin - 6 years old), and a dog (Santo). We love attending and watching sporting events and traveling. Conor and Colin keep us very busy, as they play baseball and golf. We are very big Cubs, Blackhawks, and Alabama fans!
I am so excited about our new school year and our new way of learning this year! I look forward to helping the students learn in this new way and learning from them!
If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me!!!!
