Hello,
My name is Jessica Fournier and I am very excited to be teaching Health and PE at Wheelock Elementary. Before coming to Medfield, I taught kindergarten to fifth grade PE in Springfield. I also developed and taught the health curriculum in Cambridge for both second and third grade. I graduated from Springfield College in 2016 with a dual degree in Health and Physical Education. I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a certificate in Leadership through Southern New Hampshire University. I am so grateful to have, what I believe as, the best job in the world! I have worked with all age levels and I love coming to work each day. I have always known I was going to be a teacher. As I went through my academic career I looked back on the values the ideas that had been instilled in me as a kid by my elementary school teachers, and once I realized the impact that one person had had on me, everything clicked. I believe in our future and I also believe that children are our future. I became a teacher in hopes of affecting students the way I was affected when I was young. Providing them with more than just knowledge but a basis and a respect for learning and growth and curiosity that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Aside from teaching, I love being outside! Camping, traveling, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends are some of my favorite things to do. I am looking forward to an exciting year filled with learning and fun! |
