About Jackie Wall

Welcome to 5th grade at Wellston Elementary School. My name is Jackie Wall. This will be my 15th year teaching at Wellston Elementary. I have lived in Oklahoma my entire life. I attended schools in Putnam City, Oklahoma City, and graduated from Jones High School. I  graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, plus certifications in Social Studies, Science, and Early Childhood. During my first year at Wellston I taught 4th grade. The next year I moved up to 5th and have found my "niche". I love teaching students in the 5th grade and love the curriculum. You might say that I am a history junky. I never liked history when I was in school, but since my first trip to Colonial Williamsburg, I am hooked! I have now been to Colonial Williamsburg 9 times in 15 years, three times taking small groups of students and parents. Last summer (2011) I went to Washington, D.C., Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Boston (another place which has stolen my heart!). This past summer I spent a week at Charlottesville, Virginia, studying Thomas Jefferson.

I love learning and cannot seem to get enough. I completed my fourth two-week math workshop on August 3rd.The first one was Project STAT, the second Project Prime,and  the third one was Project STEM - science, technology, engineering, and math.  This past summer I participated in Project STEM+. It was math, science, and literacy. Each of these workshops have also required several Saturdays of follow-up through the school year. Project STEM has introduced me to new technology which I am hoping to pass on to my students this year. I have also participated in a workshop where I built a real working robot. My big project for Project STEM+ is writing a picture book about math or science. My book will be finished by January 2013. It will then be published for our STEM+ group. Our school library will then receive a copy of every book that the participants in STEM+ have written. It has been another very interesting and worthwhile summer!
