Hey, all! My name is Amber Radiger and I have a passion for getting kids into history! I teach out of the box topics you may not learn about from a textbook and have been doing the classes in person and online for 5 year now! I was born and raised in Chicago where history tends to be all around, which planted the seed of loving it even as a young child. That, and my mom and dad drug me into every antique store within a 100 mile radius! 😂 Hated it then, love antique stores now! Along with antique stores, I love museums, Disney, and the Chicago Cubs! Being from Chicago, I’m pretty loud, so you’ll probably hear me across the building… yes, that’s me.
Anyway, I’m a mom of 4 kiddos (who have all been homeschooled!) and 3 dogs (not homeschooled)! We now live in Florence and love it (although I can’t get a good Chicago style hotdog anywhere! Can you believe it!?). I’m so eager to get back into the classroom and have the best time passing on awesome history info to the kids!
