Welcome to Mrs. D'Amore's Class!
My name is Carrie D’Amore. I am a licensed Elementary Education teacher who is very passionate about Catholic education. I am certified K-8th grade and have loved being involved with education in one way or another as long as I can remember. I taught Kindergarten for 2 years and then 3rd grade for 5 years. I was promoted to be Dean of Academics for 1 year before beginning a family of my own. Being a teacher is part of what makes me tick!
I have been married for 21 years. Beginning in 2006, my husband Andrew and I had 3 children and I was blessed to have the ability to stay home for 12 years to teach, guide and care for them. In 2017, I was hired at Prince of Peace Catholic School in Lake Villa to be a part-time Kindergarten Assistant. I thoroughly enjoyed this role for 5 years, learning so much from the “mouths of babes”.
In 2023, I worked my way back into the classroom, teaching Kindergarten at Prince Of Peace Catholic School in Lake Villa.
I love watching each student learn at their own level and seeing the “lightbulb” go off for them; that ah-ha moment! I use small groups where possible to individualize learning. The number of rewards I receive as an educator are prolific.
This year, here at St. Joseph’s, I will teach third grade. My son Drew is here in 7th grade and my 2 daughters are Isabella-a Freshman at Loras College and Lia-a senior at Carmel Catholic High School.
Some of my hobbies include watching my kids play sports and going to professional sporting events. I really enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, taking our dog Luna on long walks and reading a good book.
I attended Saint Joseph College, in Rensselaer, IN and had the privilege of also being a student athlete, playing Division II soccer there.
Being an educator teaches me so much about myself and enriches my own love of learning.
I will give the students my best and look forward to getting to know them all better. I believe good communication is a necessity in any working relationship. Please do not hesitate to come to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I want to also mention that we are so very fortunate to have Mrs. Susan Bronken returning and Mrs. Andrea Graham as our Instructional Aides. Together we will make a great team for the continued success of your child’s learning experience!
