Welcome to the Fifth grade Premier Team Two!! This will be another wonderful year of learning. This year in Fifth grade we will have a stellar time working on many new and exciting concepts! Fifth grade is a year of developing skills and practicing independence. This will be an essential time for students to continue assuming responsibility for their learning and become lifelong learners.
Just a few notes about us: My name is Zuleika Jackson-Jones. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois. Upon completing high school, I joined the military and served for 21 years as a mental health counselor and a human resources manager. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Florida A & M University. Additionally, I have a Masters in Human Resource Management from Webster University and a Masters of Education Degree in Divergent Learning from Columbia College. I am married to Earl Jones and we have two children, Desiree’ and Earl III (a senior at Spring Valley H.S.).
My name is Shayla Stephens, I am a native of Rock Hill, SC. I graduated from South Carolina State University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I relocated to Columbia in order to begin my teaching career. In the spring of 2006, I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Master of Education degree in Language and Literacy. In 2011, I received my National Board Certification in the area of Early and Middle Childhood Literacy: Reading-Language Arts. The 2018 – 2019, school year will mark my 16th year teaching and my 14th year teaching 5th grade. I am married to Alvin Stephens and I have a bonus son, Tristin, who attends Blythewood High School. Lastly, we look forward to welcoming a new baby to our family this year.
Although this will be an extremely fun year, we are going to remain busy for 180 full days of learning. Here at Killian STEAM Academy, our focus is to provide "Premier" academic experiences to assure our students’ success. To ensure we meet our goals this year, it is very important that the communication lines remain open. In addition to weekly email updates, we will contact you throughout the school year via the agenda book, telephone or email. Please check your child’s agenda every night for any important announcements and their Google Classroom account..
Parents are welcome in our classroom to volunteer beginning in September. Please feel free to sign up for Field-studies, guest speakers, reading/lunch buddies etc. Please know that your assistance in the classroom is greatly appreciated and we look forward to working with you in our classroom.
