​About Me

Picture of Kelly Blahnik

Hello! My name is Kelly Blahnik and I am a math interventionist! While I started my career in District 70 as a special education resource teacher at Rockland School, I transitioned to become Adler's math interventionist. I absolutely love being an Adler Gator! 

Teaching math is one of my passions! I am a firm believer in meeting students where they are at, filling in gaps, building strong number sense skills, creating engaging lessons that ask students to be active learners, and fostering strong problem-solving skills. There is no such thing as a “math gene” because all children are capable of finding success with mathematics. 

​Fun Facts: 

  • I graduated from Indiana University in 2016 (Go Hoosiers!) with a dual degree in Elementary General and Special Education.

  • I got married on October 1st and my new last name is Acosta. 

  • I grew up close by in Vernon Hills and went to Stevenson High School.

  • My favorite holiday is Halloween.

  • I love to travel! Some of my favorite trips have been to Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, Mexico, Alaska, and Canada.
