My name is Jackie Morgan. I am currently a kindergarten teacher in Illinois! I've been teaching kindergarten for 5 years now and I absolutely adore it!

Growing up, school was my escape from the chaos that I had going on in my life and my teachers always did a great job of making school feel like a home for me. I knew throughout this time that teachers had an important role that stretched far beyond teaching the yearlong standards to their students. When I graduated with my Elementary Education degree, I was ready to create that home away from home that children need.

In my mind, children are seeds of possibility; when the conditions are right, the seeds will spout. I want all children who enter my classroom to realize how important they truly are. My goal is to encourage children to let their natural curiosity flourish in my classroom and help them on their journey to becoming a life-long learner.
