Welcome to my website!  This will be my 7th year at Jackson Elementary.  I am back teaching first grade for the fifth time at Jackson.  This year I am very excited to be working with Mrs. Grey, the former Ms. Durand.  We will be taking our students on a "Rockin' year down the Highway to Spell"!  As far as my schooling is concerned, I graduated from the University of Washington in 1990 with a B.A. in History and received my teaching certificate in 2012 from Western Washington University.  I am looking forward to working with my new students this 2019-2020 school year!

 

As you embark on this hourney of learning with your child over the next few weeks we thought it might be a good idea and helpful to have a outlined schedule of what the learing might look like at home! We have also attached a active powerpoint (google Slides Link), which will be updated frequently, with the daily "assignments" or recommendations for the days routine. Our hope is that your child has one and a half to two hour days of structured learning. Please reach out with any questions or concerns!
