Mrs. Janalee Boucher
Hi! My name is Janalee Boucher and I'm happy to welcome you to our kindergarten site. This is my 21st year teaching and my 13th year teaching kindergarten in Little Chute. I love teaching Kindergarten because every day is a new adventure. I am so lucky to be able to spend each day teaching and learning with such incredible children and staff. Our year in kindergarten is spent creating the building blocks for learning. I aim to foster a love of learning through engaging activities, building of relationships, and high interest learning activities. In our classroom I work to build a positive, emotionally and physically “safe” environment so children feel comfortable enough to stretch their learning. We explore and learn together, while meeting everyone’s different needs. I want the students to LOVE school and learning.
I have been married to my husband, Brady for 20 years. We have 3 children, Wyatt(17), Wesley(14), and Nora(12) who keep us very happy and busy:) We also have a fun loving dog, Lucy. I love attending their many soccer games, Boy Scout events, dance recitals, and concerts. I am an avid Brewers fan. I enjoy watching, listening and attending games! I also enjoy being outdoors; biking, running, boating, skating, and snowshoeing just to name a few. |

Mr. Seth Jakl
Welcome to Kindergarten at Little Chute Elementary School. I am a 2006 graduate of UW-Milwaukee with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been teaching kindergarten at Little Chute since 2007 and my passion for working with some of our youngest learners continues to grow each year. It is my goal to make sure all young children enjoy their first full day school experience. I strive to create a positive learning experience for each child that will continue with them throughout their whole educational career.
I grew up right down Hwy "OO" on the boarder of Little Chute and Kaukauna. After college, my wife and I moved to my grandfather's farm outside of Kaukauna. We continue to enjoy the rural life with our two children, Rita and Gretchen. We spend as much time outside as possible and love traveling around Wisconsin in the summers. We also enjoy a yearly trip to North Carolina where we visit family each year. |

Mrs. Alissa Strelka
Hi! My name is Alissa Strelka and I am pleased to welcome you to our site! I graduated from St. Norbert College in 2010 and this will be my 9th year teaching Kindergarten. I love spending time with my family and friends. I have a wonderful husband Bryan, a 17-month old daughter Adelyn, and a kitty named Tucker. I enjoy the outdoors, especially camping in the summer. My other interests include reading, Zumba, playing the flute, and creating crafty projects. I also love to travel! One of my favorite experiences was living abroad in New Zealand for 2 months as I completed half of my student teaching. I whole-heartedly believe that education must be hands-on, meaningful, holistic, and engaging. I strive to educate the whole child in every learner. My goal is to inspire a love and zest for learning in my students as well as to help each of them find success in the way that fits their own style and abilities. Teaching Kindergarten is my absolute passion and I am delighted to be sharing this school year with 18 very wonderful children! |
