Welcome...
My name is Jessica Farrell and I am a first grade teacher at Timber Creek Elementary in Raymore, Missouri. I can not believe that I have been a teacher for twelve years already! I guess time really does fly when you are having fun! Every year I am in awe with how much each student learns and grows in such a short amount of time. It truly inspires me to change and grow in order to become an even better teacher. Two years ago I took on the challenge of being a one-to-one technology based classroom. I have seen how technology has motivated not only my students to learn, but my own children as well. This year I am taking on the challenge of implementing an alternative seating/flexible seating classroom. With the APEX funds I earned I purchased stability balls, wobble seats, pillows, and crate seats for my class. I am excited to see how this research based strategy impacts the attention and motivation of students in my class. I hope you enjoy our class website and find it informational, educational and a whole lot of fun!!!
