Special Announcement!

Hello First Grade Friends!

     I hope that you and your family are taking care of yourself and you are staying healthy and safe during this difficult time of uncertanity and distress!

Every day I am checking your progress on Class Dojo, ReadWorks, SumDog and Clever. You are working hard and I am seeing a lot of academic growth in your accomplishments!

When school reopens, please bring in all your projects and activities you have been working on, so we can decorate our classrooms with the assignments you have been working on while school has been closed. 

I miss you and can't wait to see you soon!

Every fun Friday, I will send you a "Hello!" video on Class Dojo! If you would like to send a video message to your classmates, please email me at mgarner-jones@yonkerspublicschools.org and I will post your videos to Class Dojo!

Take care and stay safe!

Hello and Welcome!

I have taught second, third, fourth and fifth grade for both Summer School and Extended Learning Time in the past.

I have 3 children. My daughter is nine years old and she is in the fourth grade. I also have a son, who is four years old and getting ready for Kindergarten in the Fall and another son who is two years old!
