About Me

My name is Jackie. I am a mother of four, ages 27, 20,18 and 16. I am also married to a wonderful man who is very supportive of me going to school. I will recieve my Masters in Education. I was born in N.C. and raised in N.Y.. Although I moved to Va in 1988 I am still a native NewYorker. Soon after moving here my parents and two sisters followed suit. I still however have a brother living in N.J.

Favorite Things to Do

I consider myself a creative person. I love crocheting, sewing, and scrapebooking just to name a few. My absolute favorite thing to do is SINGING. I am an active member in my church and I sing in the choir. I have been apart of the church chior since 1998. There was a time when I left the choir after surgery. Sitting out with the congregation and not in the choirstand felt very strange indeed. Once I recovered I went right back to where I belong (in the chior).

My Philosophy on Teaching

I believe that teaching is a calling, not everyone can do the job. To me it is very much like singing in the choir. When I am not there doing what I love, I feel out of place. I have a desire to learn and teach. I believe that education is the way out of many difficult situations. Education is the key that unlocks the door to where your dreams are, with out the key you can't get in. Reading is a very important factor. Reading expands your vision and opens your mind to wonderful possiblities. I want to be a part of that.

I believe that every child can learn, however, every child does not learn in the same way. It is up to us, the teacher to figure out which way is the best way for each child we encounter.
