A Little about Mrs. Jamieson
The 2018-2019 school marks my TENTH year of teaching and it's bound to be a good one! I grew up in Panama City, Florida where my dad, brothers, nieces, and best friend live. I came to California for college and I am a proud alumna of UC Riverside, where I earned my BA in Sociology as well as my teaching credential. I also have a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. While in college, I met my husband. In 2012, we moved to the Bay Area, where he grew up, to start a family. We are the very proud - and very busy - parents of a 4.5 year old boy, an almost three old girl, and our youngest boy just turned ONE on the 4th of July!
I absolutely love teaching at the middle school level because my students have endless energy and a great sense of humor. My history class is based in reading, writing, inquiry, discussion, creating, and of course - THINKING! I like to believe that my class can be summed up as "hard but easy". We will try new things and monitor our progress carefully. Ultimately, my goal is that students learn to push themselves to work harder, smarter, and through the concepts they find challenging (or boring) to understand the early development of our country. They will also learn important skills that help them connect to the content such as analyzing how the past shaped the country we live in today and evaluating history from multiple perspectives.
