Hello Parents, My name is Jared Congdon. I received my bachelor’s in elementary education from UNM. Shortly after receiving my degree I went to teach English for 15 months in China. When I returned to America I worked at Manzano Mesa ES for 6 years.
I was happy to hear this class would be a four five combo because I taught four years of fourth grade and two years of fifth grade at Manzano Mesa. I am comfortable with the standards of both 4th and 5th grade. I am excited to work with a 4 and 5 combo class, it is the grade levels I love and the ones I have experience with.
Please email me back at Jared.Congdon@aps.edu if you have any questions. The classroom site will also be up and available shortly, where you can find classroom news. I have also set up class dojo that you can feel free to send me messages at as well. I see some of you already linked with the class, and I will send home flyers to get families connected there as well.
