My name is Lillian Rebecca Jones.  I graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is my 24th year of teaching. I have taught in Louisiana, Arizona and Texas.  I have taught both First Grade and Kindergarten.  My husband and I have three beautiful children, two girls (25 & 13) and a son(29). The one thing I hope you learn about me this year is that I LOVE teaching children!  I hope you will take comfort in knowing that I will treat the children in my class as if they were my own. This means a lot of things: showing respect, treating them fairly, praising them where it is earned, and holding very high expectations- both behaviorally and academically.  Here are some of the things I expect from every child every day!  We call this our “Success Criteria”!

• I expect them to come to school every day ready to learn!
• I expect them to work hard every day!
• I expect them to follow all the rules every day!
• I expect them to be kind to each other!
• I expect them to treat me with respect!
• I expect them to become incredible readers, writers, scientists, and mathematicians!

All of these things will happen this year, and much more!  I hope that we will ALL work together to help your child be a successful First-Grader and to work on becoming a life-long learner!

Looking forward to a wonderful year in First Grade!

Mrs. Jones
