Hello, my name is Miss Buishas and this is my 9th year teaching reading at Grove Junior High. The first four years of my teaching career, I taught English to grades 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 at a Catholic school in Chicago Heights. I went to Eastern Illinois University for my undergrad degree and finished my 2nd Master’s degree (Reading Specialist; the first one was in administration through Concordia University) through Northern Illinois University in December of 2012. I have learned so much that I can use in my classes every single day. I would like to think that I’ll be finished with school after this degree, but I doubt it 🙂 I think I may eventually go on to get a Doctorate degree in school psychology.

In my spare time, I really like to read, run, be with family (especially my adorable nephews, James and Jack!) and friends, travel, go to Cubs games (this is our year!!), and try new restaurants. I live in Chicago about 10 blocks away from Wrigley Field.

I love reading and I love that I get to encourage kids to read every chance they get. It is my sincere hope that every student leaves my room a life-long independent reader. To me, nothing would be better 🙂
