I am Mrs. Spangler and I am so excited to be your 1st grade teacher! I grew up In Beach Park, Illinois. This is my 8th year teaching and my 1st year at Spaulding. I began my teaching career in Yuma, Arizona before moving to D56. I have experience teaching in Middle School, intermediate grades, and am so excited to be in 1st Grade!  I am married and have two children, Talan and Hope. Talan is 5 and Hope is 2. Mr. Spangler is a PE teacher at Prairie Trail! We have one very silly chihuahua named Clarky. I am so excited to get to know you this year, we are going to have so much fun!
