All About Me:

Hi, welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Mrs. Jackie Paronish. I thought you would appreciate knowing something about me. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Elementary Education. I obtained my Early Childhood Certification from Slippery Rock University in 2009. I taught Pre-K and Fourth Grade. I also taught Kindergarten at Saint Bernard School in Indiana for four years and First Grade at Northern Cambria for eleven years. I live in Northern Cambria with my husband and four sons. I am looking forward to a great year teaching Kindergarten!

It is my goal to create learning experiences which make subject matter interesting and meaningful for my students. I believe in using a variety of teaching methods and involving parents in their child’s education. If you walked into my classroom you would see children singing, working, playing together, learning, and having fun. I love our students and our NC school family so much! Go COLTS!

Thank you for visiting my web page.
