Welcome to Mrs. Youmans' page!
Hi!! My name is Ashley Youmans, and I am so excited to be teaching 1st Grade here at Benson! This will be my 15th year teaching, but 4th year in Itasca District 10. I completed my bachelor's degree from Illinois State University. I have also earned a Masters Degree of Curriculum and Instruction with an ELL endorsement from Concordia University. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught 1st, 4th, 6th & 7th Grade Reading/Language Arts, along with ESL support. I previously taught 3rd Grade at Franzen. During my free time, I absolutely love spending time with my husband and our two children. We enjoy going for walks, exploring new parks, and traveling to new places. I have always had a passion for teaching and helping all children reach their potential. I love to challenge students to be curious and take chances when learning. I strive to create an engaging, safe, and collaborative learning community for your child to be successful in 1st Grade. I am looking forward to working together with you as partners in your child's growth and development!
