ABOUT ANNALISA:
Annalisa Schifano was born in Palermo and lived in Sicily, Italy, until last year when she moved to Chicago, a city she is discovering and loving more every day. Annalisa studied and graduated from Benedetto Croce science high school. She has dedicated her life to the care of young children, as well as the elderly, paying close attention to their needs and healthy development. Annalisa loves to dance, to read, and to write nursery rhymes. She will be leading our Tuesday and Saturday, “Il Nido” playgroups, our Saturday “Giochiamo Insieme” language class, and our community tables / Italian read alouds for Scuola Italiana Enrico Fermi (SIEF) International School.
When asked what Annalisa loves the most about SIEF? “Amo la disponibilità ad aiutare, e il senso di famiglia di questa scuola, imparare ogni momento.”
ABOUT OUR TEAM:
Tuesday "Il Nido" class is with maestra Giulia Picariello Signori, returning and co-teaching. This also features special visits from SIEF's Kindergarten studenti in classe Montagna as a very exciting part of teaching and learning together.
Saturday "Il Nido" class and "Giochiamo Insieme" class is with Megan Rensing, SIEF Operations Manager, assisting.
