Hello, Parents!
For those of you who came to Back to School night, it was wonderful
meeting all of you! If you didn't come, I can't wait to meet you! It
is going to be SUCH a fun year and I can't wait for it to start! I can
tell that it is going to be a great class. Ready or not, here it comes!
First grade is a BLAST! Parents, if you ever have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to give me a call or send me an e-mail.
Since I didn't really get a chance to introduce myself to all of you
tonight, I am going to take a minute to tell you about your child's new
teacher! My name is Summer Jackman, and I am originally from Plano,
Texas. I went to school at BYU-Idaho and student taught in Blackfoot in
the first grade. Right after student teaching, I got a job teaching
first grade in St. Anthony and I knew that first grade was where I was
supposed to be! This will be my second year teaching first grade at Hillview and I love
the staff, school, and students. I had a blast teaching last year and I know this year will be just as amazing. I hope to stay here teaching for a
long time. I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since I was 11,
and I love what I do! I honestly can not wait for this year to begin.
I have an AMAZING husband, Mark. He is from Concord, California.
We met playing volleyball at college, and the rest is pretty much
history!
This summer was a busy one for me, but a summer that I will never forget. I had the opportunity to do a camp for girls ages 4-8 in June. I called it "Fancy Nancy Camp". We read a Fancy Nancy book each day and did activities to go with the book. We had a blast and I hope that I will be able to do it again next summer. I also got the chance to run in my first race on the 4th of July! I ran a 10k and had a blast doing it! My next goal is to run a half marathon at Disney World. I also had the privilege to go on a road trip through California. We started in Santa Cruz and made our way down the coast to San Diego. We had a blast and I will never forget this summer!
Well that's all about me, and I can't wait to get to know your kids!
-Mrs. Jackman
P.S. I am planning on posting on the blog every Friday or Saturday about our
week. So if you are ever wondering what we did that week, check out the blog!
