All About Me
Introduction:
Hi! My name is Kim Jonkman! I am so excited to be your child's CCR teacher this year. We are going to have a lot of fun while we are learning. This is my 18th year of teaching, and my eighth in CCR. I started my career teaching 3rd grade right here at Adams Elementary. I did that for ten years before switching to special education. I am excited to continue this journey with your family and be able to get to know you all better.
I believe a great day at school is when there is productive learning, student growth, and a healthy amount of laughter. When I am not at school, I enjoy going on adventures with friends, DIY projects around my house, reading, puzzles, and hanging out with my Goldendoodle, Gus.
Education and qualifications:
I graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana in 2006 with degrees in elementary education and special education for the hearing impaired and mild/moderate disabilities. I also have my National Board Certification, which I successfully renewed last year!
