Ms. Jessica Hemingway
2nd Grade
ABOUT ME: My name is Jessica Hemingway and I have taught 2nd grade for six years, this is my seventh!! I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and grew up in a small town just west called Dripping Springs. When I graduated high school I attended St. Edward's University where I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Spanish Language Arts in Elementary Education. Some fun facts about me: I am fluent in English and Spanish and taught in a bilingual classroom with bilingual students, parents, and curriculum. I LOVE animals; I have two cats and one dog at my house in south Austin.
Green Eco School Initiative
In past years I have grown produce such as fresh herbs and vegetables in the garden spaces with my students. They assist in planting the seeds in the dirt, watering the plot regularly, and monitoring the growth progress. Anything grown in our garden space is received and incorporated into the cafeteria lunch menus!
Technology in the Classroom
In my classroom I use a projector in which the students can be involved in the writing, reading, journaling, (etc..) process with me. We also watch interactive videos and lessons. Each student is assigned a laptop they can use during centers/stations and also during guided time with me. They use it to practice their reading skills and learn more about topics through interesting and grade appropriate texts.
