Welcome, students and families!

My name is Ms. Jenkins and I am excited about working with our 6th graders to reach new heights in math. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from Truman State University.  I continued my education and obtained a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University.  Recently, I received my Master’s in Education from UMSL.

I am passionate about student growth and encouraging students to be an active participant in their learning.  Over the years, I have worked with children of all age groups and have found a deep passion and appreciation for teaching math. I care for my students and I will do everything in my power to help them succeed in math.

Aside from teaching, I love to spend my time with my family. I have an energetic and animated son, named Ian, entering second grade this year in the district. When I am not in the classroom, I serve on the board for the non-profit, Inner City Youth Tutoring.

I am excited about the year and for us to be challenged, think outside the box, and see math from new perspectives.
