4About Mrs. Cowen...
It is hard to believe that August marks the start of my 24th year of teaching! Most of that time has been spent teaching kindergarten and first grade. This is my third year in second grade and I am loving it! I love watching the transformation that goes on while primary students learn to read and become independent thinkers! Kids constantly amaze me and keep me on my toes. I learn from them each and every day.
I live in Mount Prospect with my two children. My daughter, Madeline, is a junior at Prospect High School and my son, Carter, is a 7th grader. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, sports and being out in nature. I recently took up bike riding and love to ride the trails at Busse Woods. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and am fascinated with learning about how health and wellness play a role in many aspects of our lives! I'm looking forward to great year in second grade!
