Mrs. Lockwood's Terrific 3rd Grade Class: Meet Mrs. Lockwood

My name is Jenny Lockwood. I've been teaching since 2004. Prior to coming to Springdale Park in 2011, I taught at Centennial Place Elementary. I have taught 1^st through 4^th grades. I have also taken on roles as a Mathematics Instructional Coach and interim Challenge teacher. Prior to becoming a certified teacher, I was a paraprofessional for Kindergarten and 3^rd grade, as well as, a substitute with Kindergarten to 5^th grade for 3 years.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters of Education degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton. I earned a Specialist degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia State University. I have also earned my Gifted, Mathematics, Reading, Teacher Support Specialist, and Teacher Leader endorsements. I am committed to being a lifelong learner and hope to foster the love of learning within your children.

In the 2013, I won an Atlanta Families' Award for Excellence in Education. This award allowed me to purchase materials related to STEAM education. I look forwarding to teaching STEAM lessons this school year.

During my personal time, I enjoy traveling, reading, photography, crafting, attending indie rock concerts, going to Georgia Tech sporting events, and most importantly, spending time iwth my family and friends. I have four nieces who I absolutely adore. This past summer, I went to Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, and Michigan. I enjoy going to different places and learning about history and culture. I look forward to sharing my memories and souvenirs within our studies. My husband, Billy, is a Georgia Tech graduate who works in the sales operations department at Delta Air Lines. He enjoys volunteering in the community and reading to the students when he gets the opportunity. Billy and I have one dog named Burdell. He is currently our only “child”.
