Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! My name is Mrs. Aja Jackson and I am thrilled about being your child’s 1st grade teacher! This will be my 9th year teaching first grade. I have found an abundance of joy in my teaching journey thus far, and I am excited to continue this journey another year as an SOES MEDIA owl!
I received a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhhood Education from Newberry College and a Master of Arts in Reading from Grand Canyon University.
I currently reside in Irmo, SC with my husband and our twelve-year-old daughter and one-year-old baby boy. While I am not teaching, I enjoy spending my time with my family. I also enjoy reading, traveling, wedding planning/directing, shopping, and spending time in the sunshine!
My classroom has an open door policy, which means you are always welcome to be a part of our learning expeiences. With the pandemic, however, guidelines have changed as far as visiting. I will make sure that as much as possible, you are part of our learning. When contacting me, you may email me at ajackson@lexrich5.org or contact me via phone at 803-476-8500.
I look forward to a FANTASTIC school year! Together we can make first grade fun, exciting, and engaging for your child!
