About Me
Hello to all my new First Grade students and families! My name is Mrs. J. Claire Fowler Jones and this is my first year at Hesse! I’m so excited to get to know each of you and to learn everything about Hesse!
I just got married last July to a science teacher and we had our first child September 14, 2020! We have a Bearded Dragon, Sheepdog, Rottweiler, and a FAT cat! I taught at Isle of Hope for the last 6 years teaching 1st & 4th grades, and had the honor of representing the school as Teacher of the Year in 2020. I am from South Carolina and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and minor in Theatre from Columbia College and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of South Carolina. I taught 2nd grade in South Carolina for 2 years and taught in Namibia, Africa for 3 months in 2006. I’m Gifted Certified and have been a mentor teacher for new hires for the past 4 years.
I love to roller skate! I play on the local roller derby team and help coach the Jr. Derby Taunts. I love to play sports, read, and spend time with my family and friends! 1st grade is my favorite grade to teach and I’m so happy to be at Hesse! Can’t wait to see you grow and learn!
