About Me
Hello! My name is Jamie Garcia Knox and I am so excited to be teaching first grade this year!

I graduated with my Liberal Studies degree and received my Multiple Subject Teaching credential from CSUSM.
My classroom will be student-centered based with a fun and safe learning environment! My goal is to make learning exciting and help engage and guide students to reach their fullest potential!
I am looking forward to our school year together!
