My name is Leslie Steele and I am thrilled to
start here at Hawthorn. I am from Sandy, Utah and I am a proud Gonzaga
University graduate (Go ZAGS!), and majored in History and English while there.
During college, I worked as a Montessori Preschool aid in Spokane. There I
discovered my passion for teaching and upon graduating from Gonzaga, was
admitted to a Masters in Elementary Education program through Valparaiso
University in Indiana.
I
taught for two years on Chicago’s South side as part of my graduate program (1st
grade for a year and then a multigrade classroom of 1st and 2nd
graders). I loved working with a diverse population and enjoyed my time living
in the heart of the city. I received my Masters in Elementary Education in May
of 2011.
When
I’m not teaching, I like to lesson plan at Starbucks, go for hikes, travel,
spend time with friends and family, and bake.
I just got married this summer and my husband, AJ, is a 9th
grade teacher. We love education! J
