Meet the Teachers:
My name is Karyn Baldwin and I am a first grade dual language teacher in U-46. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2017, and this will be my second year teaching. I am a Golden Apple Scholar and enjoy spending my summers with energetic and experienced teachers. I enjoy running half marathons, traveling with my family, and making crafts for my classroom. In my classroom, I love to engage my students in hands-on STEM activities in English and Spanish.

Karyn Baldwin
I just graduated from Illinois State University studying Middle Level Education with endorsements in science and social studies. I enjoy running half marathons, reading, and making giant bubbles in my free time. One of my biggest aspirations in life is to mini-golf in all 50 states. I am a Golden Apple scholar, and therefore I spend a majority of my summers with other scientists and mathematicians at our summer institutes learning how to be a spectacular science teacher.
