Welcome to Mrs. Berwick's Class Page

My name is Mrs. Erin Berwick and this is my twelfth year teaching; my tenth year teaching 2nd grade at Pleasantdale. I graduated from University of St. Thomas with my undergraduate degrees in Elementary Education and History. I received my Masters of Curriculum and Instruction with an endorsement in reading from Loyola University in Chicago. I really enjoy working at Pleasantdale because of the wonderful faculty, staff, students, and parents. My goal every year is to help each student become a life-long, passionate learner.
