My name is Sheri Presley, and I am an upper grade teacher at Buder Elementary School.  I have been with the district since 2001, all but one of those years here at Buder.  I have taught second through fifth grade for the district, and have come to realize that my heart lies with the older students.

      Currently, I hold a teaching certificate for Missouri, Illinois, and Texas.  I also have eighteen hours towards my Master's Degree.  I have several professional development hours pertaining to teaching ELL students.  I have been nominated twice for the Pettus Award while at Buder.

       I live in Illinois and have three wonderful boys.  I enjoy watching movies, shopping, and supporting my sons in their many sporting events.  You may contact me at school (352-4343) or via email (sheri.presley@slps.org).

       This year at Buder, I am part of the 5th grade team.  I teach Math, Science, and Social Studies to both of the 5th grade classes.  I utilize Pearson Realize and IXL online for Math and Explore Learning Gizmos online for Science.   Although I believe all students can learn, I don't believe they learn the same way or at the same pace.  Therefore, differentiation and repetition are both important to the learning process.  We have a resource teacher and ELL teacher who both assist our classroom.
