Hey there, fabulous 3rd grade families! I’m Jessica Cowin, your ELA teacher, and I’m beyond excited to kick off an amazing year of reading, writing, and growing together in 3rd grade! I live in southern Missouri with my husband, six dogs (yes, six!), and one very not-so-patient cat. I earned my dual degree in Elementary and Special Education from Grand Canyon University, followed by a Master’s in Reading—because I love books that much. When I’m not diving into a good story, you’ll find me camping, gardening, floating on the water, or laughing with family and friends. I believe learning should be joyful, messy, and full of discovery. My classroom motto?
“We will make mistakes, learn, and grow together!” 💪📚
Let’s make this year unforgettable—I’m so ready to learn and laugh with you!
Greetings! I have been in education for 30 years. In my spare time,I enjoy traveling, reading, singing, playing music, and spending time with my family/friends. I love to watch football and basketball (Go/Geaux Tigers!). I cannot wait to learn more about you! We are going to have a fantastic school year!
I live in Michigan with my husband and three daughters. I have been a teacher for 21 years now and it is a real passion of mine. I taught 3rd and 4th grade in the brick & mortar classroom for five years and I was the Reading Specialist for a K-5th brick & mortar school for two years. Since then, I have been working with students online and this is my fourth year partnering with EdOptions Academy to provide virtual learning to our elementary students. I am so excited about our start to the school year!
Hello and welcome, my name is Amy Smith and I'm so excited to be an elementary teacher with EdOptions Academy. Learning new things has always been a love of mine so naturally I wanted to become an elementary teacher to share my enthusiasm and passion with students. I'm a small-town Texas girl from Lubbock, TX. I graduated from Texas Tech University with my undergraduate and graduate degree. My sweet family includes my husband Trevor, and our 2 wonderful kids Avery and Tripp. In our spare time you will find us going to the lake, camping, golfing, playing soccer and football. I look forward to the new and exciting things this school year brings us.
