Jennifer Cuzzort
5th Grade Team
Hello! My name is Jennifer Cuzzort, and I'm so excited to be teaching 5th grade Social Studies teacher this year!
I graduated from The University of Tennessee and have 21 years of experience teaching elementary students. My teaching philosophy centers on making history relevant and relatable, helping students understand how the past influences our present and shapes our future.
In our Social Studies class, students will embark on a journey through time, learning about diverse cultures, significant historical events, and the importance of civic responsibility. I believe in fostering critical thinking and encouraging students to ask questions, participate in discussions, and work collaboratively on projects.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me traveling around the country(especially our National Parks!), exploring local museums, reading historical fiction, or relaxing at home with my puppy. I'm committed to nurturing a love for learning in my students and helping them develop the skills they need to become informed and engaged citizens.
I look forward to a fantastic year filled with exploration and discovery!
Staying Connected!
Hello Parents,
I’m really excited to tell you our class will be using an app called Bloomz to simplify how we communicate with you and keep you in the know of what your child is doing while under our care. Get ready to see:
* Updates on what your child is doing and learning
* Photos from the day or specific activities with a 1 click download option on your desktop
* Access to our class calendar including special events with built in reminders
* Invitation requests to events/field trips
* Volunteer requests and ability to sign up right in the app
* Parent Teacher Conference signups
* And more…
Bloomz even has a messaging feature so you can instantly message one of our staff (e.g. in case you’re running late for pick-up) or another parent (perhaps for a last minute pick-up request).
You'll have access to all these in one place, right on your mobile devices or on the web!
More details about how to join our class will be available at Orientation. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
