Bio
Welcome to my website! My name is Michelle Gentile, and I will be your child's language arts/literature teacher for sixth grade. This is my fifth year teaching at Century, and I look forward to creating many more memories in District 135.
I graduated from Bradley University in 2003. Since then, I have received a Master's Degree in Teaching and Leadership from Saint Xavier University and am currently pursuing my Administrative Certificate. Continuing my education has allowed me to further expand my knowledge of the best practices for my students.
In and out of the classroom I am an avid reader and enjoy writing. My goal is to inspire my students to have the same enthusiasm.
