My name is Mrs. Sharon Kamphuis, and I teach 5th grade at Hazelgreen.  I earned my Bachelor’s in Education from Trinity Christian College and my Master’s in Reading from Governors State University.  I started teaching at Hazelgreen in 1997, and the majority of my experience has been in the fifth grade classroom.  

    Teaching fifth grade is exciting!  Learners are becoming more independent, and they are learning to effectively collaborate with their peers.   I appreciate that fifth graders are curious, and I enjoy helping them find answers to their questions.
