Welcome and "About Ms. Serafin"
Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year! I hope you have enjoyed your summer and are ready to embark on an amazing journey together! My name is Jennifer Serafin and I will be your child's third grade teacher.
This year will be my sixth year teaching at Medlock Bridge Elementary. I graduated from the University of Florida where I earned both my Master of Education and Bachelor’s degrees. I grew up in Florida, and I am an avid Gators fan-Go Gators! I live in Buckhead, like to travel to serve people around the world, run, and volunteer around Atlanta in my free time. This summer I traveled to Kenya, France, and Haiti! Wahoo!
As a teacher, I hope to motivate my students to discover their strengths and abilities in the academic curriculum as well as on a social level. I strive to provide an encouraging and stimulating classroom environment where my students can excel not only in academics but also as a cohesive classroom community. I have very high expectations for my students because I believe all students are capable of achieving success!
This year we are thrilled to invite Mrs. Jessica Vu into our classroom as she completes her student teaching portion for her degree at Georgia State University. After 10 years in sales, she feels blessed to have the opportunity to follow her passion of working with children and furthering her education. We share a similar philosophy for how children learn so I have no doubt that we will make a great team for the few months she will be with us!
With your participation and support, both in and out of the classroom, I look forward to a phenomenal year that will prove to be exciting, enriching and an extraordinary experience for all of us. Please feel to contact me with any questions or concerns at serafinj@fultonschools.org.
I look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night on Tuesday, August 21rd at 6:00pm. Please visit our classroom blog to stay up to date on daily homework and class happenings at http://serafinhomework.blogspot.com and connect with me on edmodo – http://edmodo.com/serafinj.
