Get to Know Mrs. Zinn...
Welcome fifth graders! I am so happy to be joining the CPS family this year. Although I am new to CPS this is my 13th year teaching. I grew up near Chicago, IL and attended Illinois State University where I earned my Bachelors in Elementary Education. After teaching for 7 years I went back to school and got a Master in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University - Chicago. I am proud to call myself a lifelong learner and I hope you will become a lifelong learner too!
I live in St. Augustine with my husband, Mark, and our two children, Brooke (3rd) and Joey (5th). We also have a Schnoodle named Tucker. When I am not at school, you can find us at the beach, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.
