Hello! My name is Laura Tambling and I am a first grade teacher at St. James School. This will be my third year at SJS. I am so lucky to be working in a school that has such a close and supporting community!

Professional Background: 
I graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I also am endorsed in reading, language arts and science. I completed a full year student teaching internship in a first grade classroom, and have always loved working with this age group.

Personal Background: 
In my free time I like to…
-Spend time with family and friends
-Read

-Travel
-Watch sports (Blackhawks, Bulls and Cubs)
