About+Me

y name is Amy Winkelmann and this is my eleventh year teaching third grade at Banner. I graduated from WIU in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I grew up in the small town of Brimfield and still live there with my family. My husband and I were blessed with three beautiful children. Cade is 6 years old and is such an active and sweet boy. My lovely daughter, Avery, is 4 years old. Most of the time we call her Sissy! To say she loves to sing is an understatement. Cohen is a year and a half old. He is just learning to talk, but loves to do whatever his older brother and sister are doing.

In my free time I enjoy reading, playing with my kids, doing crafts, and shopping with my mom and sisters. One of my sisters is a speech pathologist and the other is a special education teacher. I finished up my masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction when Cade was a baby and have since taken several class that have really impacted my teaching and student learning. My favorite was a Daily 5 class I took a couple of summers ago.
