Good Afternoon. My name is Ms. Jeannette Banks and I am a teacher at Humboldt Elementary School. Where I teach Special Education.  I have been in the St. Louis Publics schools for over 20 years.  I have a background in High School English, Regular Education, and Special Education in the high schools and Elementary schools. I come from a line of educators and it is something that I have done since I was a kid,  It started when I helped my aunt who was a second grade teacher, who taught in the same building that I was attending elementary school.  After school  I would go to her classroom, help her out and grade papers.  That was during the time when teachers could take the kids home after school, help them with their work, feed them and take them home later.  For me it was fun playing teacher.

So, teaching and learning is something that I grew up with and not just something that is done during certain months of the year.  I enjoy seeing when a student "gets it",  and look forward to being a positive part of your child’s educational experience.
