Hi! I am Jessica Newhart, and I will be one of the third grade reading teachers this year. I can’t wait to meet you, read together, and watch you grow as a reader this year. This will be my 15th year teaching, and my first year at CASC. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2005 from Ohio University and my Master’s Degree in Teacher Leadership in 2012 from Concordia University. I am a certified Literacy Teacher, lover of books, and am passionate about teaching reading and helping you love to read too. I live in Mount Pleasant, SC (right outside of Charleston) with my husband, Ryan, and four daughters: Ava (15), Adalyn (9), and the twins, Everly and Claire (3). We love to go to the beach and have very competitive family game nights! I can’t wait to meet you! We’re going to have a great year together.
