    Wow, congratz Mrs. Jackson! Im so happy for you! Let me just start by saying when I started the fourth grade, Mrs. ‘Jackson’ was a teacher across the hall with dark hair that our class visited often, she was really nice, but not the woman mentioned above. In the fourth grade my teacher was Ms. Laura Cowan. She seemed ( and still does) young to me, and kind hearted. I was in the fourth grade, but Mrs. Jackson was a pretty amazing teacher. She s at all. Mrs. Jackson was a wonderful teacher who also helped me become who I am today. Congratulations to her. (:

    I would like to say that in all my conversations with Ms. Jackson, she has always presented herself with professionalism along with a down to earth understanding side. She has went above and beyond her duties as a teacher with offering to help out in a situation that would help a child be able to participate in a school event oppose to just leaving them out. She has been a very sweet pleasant person to talk to and always keeps the parent up to date with what is going on in the class as well as upcoming school events. My son absolutely loves being in her class and loves having her as a teacher. He shares stories with me about things that happen throughout his day and you can see how much fun he really has each day. Thank you Ms. Jackson!
