MY CLASS CORNER

Mrs. Jennifer Payne

I grew up in Orem where I attended Mountain View High School and UVSC.
I then moved to Cedar City where I attended Southern Utah University.

I graduated with a Bachelors in Elementary Education with minors in Fine Arts and Media. SUU is also where I met my husband of 20 years.

We have lived in Lehi since 2001 and have two children: Sara who is 16 and Jared who is 14.

I have worked here at The Ranches Academy for 5 years teaching 5th grade. I have taught Preschool, Special-Ed, 1st and 2nd grade, and Music, but teaching 5th graders has been my favorite. I think 5th grade is a fabulous experience, and it's fun to work with students who enjoy learning and having fun.

In my spare time I love being with my family where we enjoy spending time in the outdoors camping and wheeler riding, and watching movies, while eating popcorn. I also enjoy reading, crafts, painting, shopping, and going to dinner with friends.

I have a great time teaching children, and I admire each and every student as they learn, grow, and mature. In addition I get a kick out of the funny things that they say and do, and I appreciate the laughter that the children bring to the classroom. I sincerely look forward to the many opportunities we will have to work together to make this year a challenging, valuable, and positive learning experience, and I am excited to get to know each student and show them that learning can be fun.
