My name is Jamie Sandifer and I am excited to learn and grow with your child! I am originally from Irmo and I attended elementary, middle, and high school in School District 5! I graduated from Presbyterian College with an Undergraduate Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I graduated with my Master’s Degree in Language and Literacy through the University of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks!! This is my eighth year teaching. I taught first grade for two years and this will be my sixth year in kindergarten.
I love teaching and I think it is such a fulfilling job! I hope to provide a safe and positive learning environment for all of my students where each of them will feel successful. I want all of my students to feel comfortable within our classroom in order to take risks as readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, historians, and engineers! I am excited to learn and grow with my students this year!
Our class mascot is the ant. Ants are great natural engineers, and at Leaphart, we are growing into great engineers, as well!
This website exists to communicate with families of happenings in my classroom. I hope it is helpful for all of you!
