    Hello!  My name is Jodi Pelak and I am excited to be staying to 5th grade for the 2020-2021 school year.   

    I am originally from the great state of Michigan.  Ever since I was little, I've known I wanted to teach.  After graduating with a degree in Elementary Education from Valparaiso University, I moved to Washington, DC.  My first 6 years teaching were spent in DC Public Schools where I taught both 3rd and 4th grade.  I love that I've been at Liberty ES since we opened in the fall of 2008 and am excited to celebrate our 13th year.  Throughout those years, I have moved back and forth between 4th and 5th grade.  I graduated from Shenandoah University with my Master's degree and have loved implementing all that I learned into my classroom.  Throughout the school year, I seek to create a positive learning environment for my students.  
    When I'm not teaching, I love spending my time with my family.
