My name is Ms. Jenkins and I am your 6th grade Math teacher. I am a proud graduate of Webster Groves High School and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Truman State University. I went on to obtain a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University and, most recently, a Master’s in Education from the University of Missouri–St. Louis. I am also SIOP-trained, equipping me with strategies to support all learners, including English language learners, in achieving academic success.

 

Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all age groups and discovered a love for teaching math. My passion for teaching is rooted in a commitment to helping students reach their full potential. I believe it’s essential for our classrooms to be places where all students feel valued, empowered, and inspired to see themselves as capable learners and future leaders.

I am passionate about fostering student growth and encouraging students to be active participants in their own learning journey. I believe every child can achieve greatness when given the right support, high expectations, and a safe, inclusive environment.

 

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my energetic and animated son, Ian, who will be entering 3rd grade in the district this year.

I’m thrilled to start this school year with you, and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things we will accomplish together in 6th grade math!
