My name is Sherry Schneider. A lifer, I am a graduate of The Summit. I am excited about returning to my alma mater and teaching First Grade here. This is my eighth year teaching first grade at The Summit. I have four boys. My twins, Ryan and Kyle, are in fifth grade at The Summit. Jacob, my middle son, just turned nine in June. I have a five year old named Luke Benjamin. He was born August 28th and just turned five. Cocoa is our thirteen year old chocolate lab.
I was a first grade teacher at Cardinal Pacelli School for ten years, and I have been tutoring students in all subjects from kindergarten through eighth grade for the last ten years as well. Previously I taught Montessori at Cincinnati Country Day School for three years after I had completed my student teaching at The Summit Montessori School for a semester.
I graduated from Miami University and Xavier University in Elementary Education and Montessori. I have a Masters in Special Education from Xavier University. I am also trained in the Orton Gillingham method for teaching reading, writing, and spelling. The Orton Gillingham method is a multisensory approach similar to the Montessori method in teaching children how to read and write.
