About+the+Teacher

==Hello! My name is Jessica Gleadall and I am a kindergarten teacher at NSES. I began my teaching career as an early pre-k teacher at Primrose Schools in Franklin, TN (Dec. 2007) after graduating from Eastern Illinois University with my Early Childhood Education degree. (Focus: Child and Family Studies). I have been teaching kindergarten at Smith since August 2009. ==

==It is my goal to provide a safe and loving learning environment for every student that walks into my classroom. Literacy is our main focus. I want every one of my students to be a reading star! I believe that a parent is a child's first and life-long teacher. Please do not hesistate to call or email if you have any questions or concerns. ==



**They keep me busy at home and are great company since I don't have any little ones of my own yet! I became an aunt for the first time in September 2011 and couldn't be more excited!**  == ==

==When I'm not teaching or finding new ideas--- I am usually babysitting for my friend's, spending time with my family or going on road trips to visit my old friends around the midwest! =) ==

Q: What are your hobbies?
==A: I love spending time with my friends and family! If I had the money, I would enjoy more hobbies... but currently am on a very strict budget which limits my fun! ==
