Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education
Mrs. Malisa Jones
I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Reading. This is my eighth year teaching and it is my seventh year at Polenta Elementary. I have taught 3rd grade for 4 years and first grade for 3 years. I am very excited to be in first grade again this year. I am passionate about reading and strive to instill a love of reading and learning in every child. I am pleased to be working with your child this year and look forward to seeing them succeed in 1st grade.
A Little About Me:
I am married and have 3 beautiful daughters. We have 2 dogs named Duke & Bandit. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, gardening, and going to the beach. Some of my favorite things are coffee, chocolate, flowers, and children's books.
