Kamesha Jacques: 5th grade teacher.
I am so grateful and honored to be the teacher of the week! This is my first year at Chavez Elementary and I am very happy to be a part of a great school. This is my eleventh year teaching. I was born and raised in Dallas, TX. I graduated from South Garland High School and The University of Texas at Dallas. I worked in Dallas ISD for ten years. I have taught elementary for 6 years and middle school for 5 years. I have two beautiful daughters who are the light of my life, Finecia (7 years old) and Kylah (19 months). In my spare time I love listening to music, watching documentaries on entertainers, and watching my favorite TV shows. The love for my two babies and the things my parents instilled in me keeps me grounded.
As a teacher, I always focus on my purpose as an educator and I work very hard so that my students can reach their greatest potential. One of the joys of being a teacher, is when your students let you know how much they appreciate you. Receiving genuine praise from my kiddos gives me the greatest fulfillment and that’s when I truly know that I made a difference in their lives.
