Welcome to First Grade!

by Jennifer Ramsay

January 18, 2013

 

Welcome to 1st grade! My name is Jennifer Ramsay, and I am excited to work with you and your child in first grade this year! This is my fourth year of teaching at Chebanse Elementary. I grew up in a small town in central Illinois, and I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Spanish. I recently finished my Reading Specialist Master's Degree from Olivet.

My goal for this school year is to create a positive learning environment, one that encourages students to work hard, do their best, and have fun while learning. I want to help your child enjoy being at school and challenge them to be the best they can be. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at jramsay@cusd4.org.  Working together will help your child flourish in first grade. We are going to have a fun and successful year!
