About me

Introduction	Hi, I am Carrie Jones. I teach second grade and I love my little buddies. Originally, I believed that I was the quintessential kindergarten teacher because I enjoy everything about that age, the curriculum, and singing everything with them. I was fortunate enough to teach kindergarten for a few years. However, as time moved on, I taught different grades due to various circumstances and discovered that I love second grade! Along the way, I taught first grade as well as a remediation program with the upper elementary grades. All the while, I was hoping to stay in the younger grades so that they would be glad to sing with me. Lo and behold, I found out that second graders love to sing too! You know how you get a song stuck in your head? My goal is to sing and chant skills, strategies, and content so that the kids smile while they are learning, accidentally sing the songs at home, and, eventually, have the songs “stuck in their heads.” After all, we want them to retain all that they have learned. Wouldn’t you agree?
