COCHRAN, Ga. — This week's top teacher has been in the classroom for more than two decades and took Junior Journalist Joshua Ratchford Jr. down to Bleckley County...
Christy Jones teaches fifth grade science and social studies at Bleckley County Elementary.
She has been teaching for 21 years and says her favorite part is getting to teach her students lessons they can carry with them outside the classroom.
"I love having the opportunity to know they're learning and that they can take that with them every day," Jones said.
Taylor Herndon wrote in about Mrs. Jones, and she says she always has her students' best interest in mind.
"She's super caring because when our air conditioner couldn't work, we had to sit in the hall. She made sure we were all comfortable and that we could concentrate," Herndon said.
She also wrote in her letter about how Mrs. Jones has helped her succeed.
"I have a hard time understanding social studies, but she stands at the front of the class and helps me understand it clearly. That's how I get all As in her class," Herndon said.
Congratulations Mrs. Jones!
