Meet Mrs. Jenkins

Hello everyone!  My name is Mrs. Jenkins.  I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade this year.  We are going to have a great year! This will be my 11th year of teaching in St. Louis (Go Sharks!).  I've taught several different grade levels, but 2nd grade is my favorite!  I earned my undergraduate degree from CMU with a major in Languge Arts and  minor in Math.  I also earned my Master's degree in Reading from CMU (FIRE UP CHIPS!) 
     Somewhere along the way, I got married to my husband Jason.  I have one awesome step-son, David.  David is going to be a high school freshman in Beaverton.  Our little family kept growing with the addition of Henry in 2010.   He is an easy going, fun-loving kid.  Henry can usually be found driving trains, tractors and Hot Wheels all over the house.  This past school year, we welcomed Max into our family.  He is a great baby, we immediately fell in love with him. 
     I love being in the classroom.  I find a lot of joy watching the children develop as independent learners.  Second grade is a grade where we'll see a lot of growth, so get ready to be amazed.  You can expect your child to come home excited about learning.  We have a lot of fun, which makes learning easy in our classroom.  I look forward to having a great year!  Please feel free to contact me anytime.
