Welcome Letter

Welcome to First Grade at Captain Elementary,

My name is Mrs. Jeni Goode, and I will be your child’s First Grade Teacher at Captain Elementary for the 2015-2016 school year.
I grew up in St. Louis going to St. Joseph’s Academy for high school. At the University of Missouri-Columbia, I earned a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, and received my Master’s in Reading from Webster University. Currently, I am pursuing an Educational Specialist degree at Lindenwood University.
Prior to coming to Clayton, I taught in the Jefferson City Public Schools where I taught kindergarten, first, fourth and fifth grade. Also, while my children were little, I was a stay-at-home mom and taught preschool.
This is my tenth year at Captain Elementary, and my seventeenth year of teaching elementary age children. My family lives in Webster Groves and my daughter, Anne will be a freshman at Clayton High School and Carolyn will be in seventh grade at Wydown Middle School. My husband, Peter, works at Washington University for the Environmental Law Clinic.  Plus, we have a shih/tzu-bichon mix dog (small, white & fluffy) named Rosie.
Please look at Captain Elementary’s website to see the First Grade web page. http://www.clayton.k12.mo.us//Domain/559

I am looking forward to being your child’s teacher.
Jeni Goode
Love,
Mrs. Goode
