Hello! My name is Mrs. Karina Alonso and I'm really excited to be a part of the Sauganash Elementary community as a Kindergarten teacher. I taught preschool for two years and have been with CPS for 7 years. I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with Advanced Professional Specializations in ESL/Bilingual Education and Early Childhood Special Ed from National Louis University. In my spare time,I love to watch movies with my husband and son, travel to other states and countries, cook, and spend time in my garden. I can’t wait to meet my students and their families and have a fun year of learning!
