Welcome to Kindergarten
Ms. Jasmine Bell
Hello Everyone! My name is Miss Bell. I am so excited to be your Kindergarten teacher this year.
This is my third school year at Jenkins. Last fall, I completed my student teaching in 3rd grade at Jenkins ES. I started mid-year in January 2023 as a full-time kindergarten teacher at Jenkins ES.
I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2021 (B.IS) and Arizona State University (MEd) in 2022. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy dancing, makeup, traveling, and playing with my dog.
My goal this year is to build relationships with my students and families. I look forward to a fabulous school year.

My Philosophy of Teaching
I approach education with the belief that all children are capable of learning. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to meet the students where they are and use guided learning to advance them to the next level or beyond. Everyone must learn."
