Math for Elementary Education
Ms. VanDongen
I grew up in Livonia and went to Livonia Public Schools from preschool to twelfth grade. I graduated from Madonna University with a degree in math for elementary education. I also graduated from Eastern Michigan University with my master's degree in curriculum and instruction in literacy. This is my seventh year teaching at Hayes. My first two years here I taught kindergarten, and this will be my fifth year teaching second grade.
In my free time I enjoy doing DIY projects, crafts, playing cards or board games, and riding my bike. I also like to try new restaurants and go to the movie theater. I have two younger sisters who are also teachers that I love to spend time with.
The best way to contact me is through email (rvandong2@livoniapublicschools.org). I will respond to your message within one school day. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with me.
