"To teach is to touch a life forever." - unknown

Hello....

My name is Jackie Cespedes (aka Mrs. Cespedes, aka Mrs. C). This year I am teaching fourth grade.  I am a teacher at heart and lover of all things involving students and learning! 

I love anything that is colorful, especially pink, glittery, creative, Disney and messy good fun!!     

My Journey!

This is my second-year teaching in my own classroom.  Last year I taught kindergarten.  What a jump!  There were many changes this year with the pandemic and teaching virtually.  We made it!!  We found that we are resilient and together we can overcome anything. 

After college, I worked as an underwriter for an insurance company for a number of years.  

Did I mention I love anything involving kids, glittery, Disney, and creative?  Well...let us just say that job was NOT for me.   

I worked as a substitute teacher for two years while completing my credentials and I felt an instant connection the moment I first stepped in a classroom! 

That is not to say it was not hard.  I had heard a time or two that good things worth having require real hard work.  How true that is!! Because it was sure all worth it!

Anywho...We will talk a little bit more about my journey on the About Me page.  

I have learned so much from my students, colleagues, trainings, and mentors.                                                          

I hope to be an asset and learning guide for others in my shoes.
