Supply ListAlso, Please know that I do not use this website. I just updated it. I prefer to use Dojo for communication and I have a google classroom. We will also be using seesaw this year.

Dear Parents,
I am so excited to be your child’s 1st grade teacher! Hopefully we will all get to be face to face after Fall semester. This is all new for everyone. Please know that I am no expert but I will do my best and cannot wait to know your child and you all! This is my fourth year at Durant and I am so thrilled to be part of such a great school. This is my 17th year teaching. I am a native of Raleigh, and went to elementary, middle and high school here. I graduated from UNCG with elementary education and psychology. I am very passionate about teaching children to read! I have had many trainings in literacy and phonics. I also was part of the Governor’s Teacher Network in 2014-15, developing research in literacy for Kindergarteners. I am a mother of two children, one goldendoodle Harley and one maltipoo, Bailey. My daughter Kenzie will be in 8th grade and my son Tatum in 5th grade at Durant. I live in Wake Forest. We are part of a blended family. My fiance Jeff has three children. So we have a house full! We had planned to get married in April but Covid sadly has delayed this. I love to read, cook, be outdoors and spend time with my kids. I am so excited to build relationships with you and your child. Working together and strong communication plays a key role in learning. This is such an important year! It will be challenging with remote learning but we will get through it together! I cannot wait to watch your child learn and grow this school year! Thank you for trusting your child with me each day. Sincerely, Jennifer Welker 1st Grade Fall Virtual Academy Durant Elementary |
