Hello! My name is Jen Clinton, and I am excited to be the EL teacher at AAECS!
I spent 7 years teaching EL and science to high school students in both Pennsylvania and Texas before being introduced to the wonderful world of elementary school students! I love teaching reading and writing, although I have noticed that most of my themes are science related. You'll usually see me with a notebook or scrap of paper so I can write down good ideas as I have them; otherwise I'll forget!
When I'm not creating a new game or activity for my EL kids, I can usually be found with dirty hands. I like to play in my ever expanding garden, spend time with my horse, go kayaking, hiking, or take my motorcycle to the nearest ice cream shop! If it's too rainy or too cold, I'll probably be curled up with a good book. My long term plan is to work full time on my educational farm; where families can experience animals, nature, and dirt, first hand!
