Jefferson Elementary School is located in Massac County, Illinois.
Ms. Weatherbee, the teacher, has some great students. Her students were in need of an iPad to take Accelerated Reader tests on. They also needed the Dan Gutman Baseball Card Adventure series to have access to reading material that matches their interests.
I have a classroom full of seventeen energetic students this year. Our school is in a rural area, and the students that I teach come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our school serves students in grades K-6 and provides rigorous academics, loving teachers, and a safe learning environment. As a result, we are consistently one of the top-performing schools in our district every year
I have high expectations for my students, and I love to see the look of accomplishment on their faces when they achieve a new goal.
I look forward to making new and exciting experiences available to them whenever possible.
