I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you and your child to second grade! This will be an exciting time as your student embarks on new adventures in the world of learning. Second grade is a year of growing socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Your involvement, interest, and enthusiasm will make this a wonderful year!
My name is Mrs. Vukmarkaj and this is my third year at Franklin School. I am passionate about teaching and I am excited to share my enthusiasm for teaching and learning with your child.
My class website is filled with useful information and is updated weekly. Not only will it share classroom and curriculum information, but it will be a place to share our school day with you at home! Slideshows are uploaded monthly to give you a peek into our day as well as e-books that the students will publish! Check back often to see the exciting things that are happening in our classroom!
In addition to our class website, Class Story will be used as a blog. Instead of myself updating the blog, the students will be commenting and posting on the blog to show what they have learned. I also encourage you to post comments on the blog as well! (More info coming soon on Class Story)
Once again, I welcome you and your child to second grade and know we are going to have a wonderful year full of learning and growth! Please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions or concerns that may arise. E-mail is the best way to reach me since I can check it throughout the day. I hope you are ready for an exciting year!

My Family
I have been married for 11 years to a wonderful husband who shares many of the same interests as I do. We have a cat, Chester, who is so cute! We also have a border collie mix, Bailey, who is 3 years old.
Things I like to do
My interests outside of school include reading, bike riding, running, hiking, making quilts, and watching the CHICAGO BEARS! Mr. Vukmarkaj and I like to travel during summer vacation and go hiking. We have hiked the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, the Shawnee National Forest in Illinois and the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan. Our favorite place is Sedona, Arizona where we hiked many of the red rocks and visited the Grand Canyon.
