About The Teacher

Hi! My name is Jennifer Lester and I have two daughters, Amber 24 and 
Kaitlin 14.  My hobbies include reading and crocheting. I have an Associates 
Degree in Education from SVCC and a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary 
Studies grades PreK - 6 from Virginia Intermont College. I have passed 
Praxis 1, Praxis 11, and the Virginia Reading Assessment. This makes me a 
highly qualified teacher according to the "No Child Left Behind Act". This 
is my fourth year as a First Grade teacher. I have nine years experience as a 
subsitute teacher, experience as a long term sub in kindergarten, and one 
year teaching special needs children.

Mission For The Class

To motivate the student in his/her own unique learning style to become 
successful individuals.  He/she will continue to build on their previous 
learning experience and prepare for the next step (second grade)in their 
educational journey.  This class will provide a safe learning environment 
for the students and will foster a positive atmosphere leading to           
a productive learning experience.  

"We will plant seeds of knowledge today that will grow into a garden of 
wisdom tomorrow."
