About The Teacher

I grew up in the Cullman County area. As a child I attended Dowling Junior 
High School, graduating from West Point High School. My desire has always 
been to work with children and young people to influence their lives in a 
postive manner. After graduating from the University of Alabama in 
Huntsville, I worked temporarily as a fourth grade teacher at Jones Valley 
Elementary. Since coming back to Cullman, I have thouroughly 
enjoyed my time at Cullman Primary and eagerly await this upcoming school 
year. 

I have always had a wonderful, supportive family including my mom, dad, a 
big sister and a brother-in-law. I have two neices and a nephew who are just 
precious to me! Then, in June of this year I married the love of my life, 
Dusty, and we are enjoying our new life together. (I hope this helps clarify 
any confusion about which teacher I am. My name was Kelly Jackson.) My 
husband is a youth minister so we have lots of children (big and little) to 
love. 

I cherish each day here at CCPS. My students are so bright, 
interesting and creative ... each day is brand new. Each day is a blessing!

Mission For The Class

My desire for the Zebra class is to achieve success in all realms of life. 
My ultimate goal is to attain success and growth for the children 
emotionally, socially, and academically. This is to be accomplished through 
a postive classroom environment that promotes a "can-do" spirit in order to 
encourage confidence in both academic and daily life. 

Also, I hope to begin the process of teaching and practicing the art of 
making choices. I feel that children need to be encouraged to examine their 
own behavior and learn to "choose their behavior". 

It is my desire to enable my students to be successful learners in all areas 
of life. Ultimately, we want to grow together to become life-long learners 
as well as caring, concerned, and committed members of the community.
