About+me

This is my sixth year teaching Literature/Language Arts, and my fourth year teaching 6th grade Lit./L.A. here at Hille. The reason why I wanted to become a teacher is because I wanted to share my love for reading and writing with others. I absolutely love working with middle school students and can’t imagine working with any other age group. I specialized in middle school education while attending Illinois State University and went on to get my Masters Degree in reading from Saint Xavier University. I got married last summer so some of my old students are still adjusting to calling me Mrs. Ciesiun instead of Ms. Iles. My husband and I agree on most things except for the best baseball team in Chicago. While he daydreams of the Cubs finally winning a world series, I live in the real world where the White Sox’s are the true champions. When we are not arguing about baseball we spend time with our family, friends, and our yellow lab/golden retriever named Liberty. She has a tendency to chew on my shoes and my husband’s socks so she is always keeping us on our toes!
