Hi my name is Jen Sawyer! Thank you for visiting My Web Site. It is still a work in progress, so please revisit to see the new items I add with different classes.

I am currently a student at the College of  St. Mary.  After graduating in December, I will be certified in special education grades K-9 and language arts for grades 4-9.

I have lived in many states in the U.S., but I have always considered Omaha to be my hometown. My husband Travis and I have been married for almost thirteen years.  Carson and Quinn are our two wonderful boys. Most recently I taught preschool at Holy Name School as well as aided in various classrooms. In March of '09, I left my position at Heartland Eye Consultants as a optometric vision therapist due to my school schedule. I still occasionally fill in if needed. I strongly believe my work with patients in optometric vision therapy will make me a better teacher.

One of my favorite poems by Dorothy Law Nolte is "Children Learn What They Live". The Last line says, "If children live with acceptance and friendship they learn to find love in the world."
I hope to teach this to all my students!
