About Me

Hello! My name is Ms. Jorie Watts.  I will be your son/daughter’s second grade teacher for the 2019/2020 school year.  I am very excited to work with you and your child this year.

In our classroom, we will venture into many challenging activities.  Our journey will be great and enjoyable.  Some of our goals to accomplish this year are: mastery of math facts; increased reading fluency and levels; critical thinking skills; various writing genres; character education; as well as building a community and exploratory experiences in Science.

As a eighteenth year teacher, I have experience in teaching Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade level students.  I have a Master’s in Education with Montessori Emphasis and this is my second year at Geer Park Elementary.

My love for teaching stems from a varied family background of educators.  They have instilled in me the desire to enhance learning for success in children. I have high expectations of my students and want them to witness as well as enjoy succeeding.

In my spare time, I love to travel abroad and within the states, cook, shop, relax, crochet, read and listen to jazz.  Spending time with my family is one of my favorite pastimes.  I love the colors black and turquoise and enjoy eating Sushi, Cajun foods, and dark, chocolate treats with nuts.

I am looking forward to a wonderful successful school year and making a difference in your child’s education. My aim is to nurture each child, each day and assure students that learning is fun! 

As a courtesy, please allow 24 hours for me to address any concerns you may have.  You may contact me at wattsj@dearbornschools.com. More information will come home soon regarding expectations, snacks, birthday celebrations, etc.

Thank you for trusting me with your child’s education.

Educationally yours,

Ms. Watts
