I’m so excited to be back in the classroom! After a year off with my son, I’m ready to reconnect with my students! This will be my first year in Kindergarten so it feels like I’m starting over. I hope to help my student fall in love with learning each day in my classroom.

In my classroom, students collaborate and actively discuss ideas to build a deep, conceptual understanding of the math content.

My goal each year is to grow in one area of teaching, so I can continue to encourage my students to always be learners. I am thankful for the wonderful support of the community and blessed to be part of an amazing school and district.

J. Creswell
As a 6th Grade World History teacher, I strive to create an engaging classroom where students explore ancient civilizations, develop critical thinking skills, and make meaningful connections to the world around them. Many of my students benefit from hands-on learning materials, organizational supplies, and classroom resources that help bring history to life. Your support through my Amazon Wishlist will help provide the tools needed to foster curiosity, collaboration, and academic success during the 2026–2027 school year. Thank you for investing in our students’ learning journey!

I am so excited for an amazing year ahead with my second-grade students! Our theme this year is ‘Moving Mountains,’ and I have no doubt we will achieve big things together. Thank you so much for supporting me and the class. I am truly grateful!
