Hello!
My name is Mrs. Jennifer Okenwa (pronounced Oh-Ken-Wuh). I have been teaching for 13 years now. I have spent the majority of my career educating 2nd graders, with a few years in 3rd grade. I loved that experience because it allowed me to see where my 2nd graders need to be in order to be fully prepared for the next grade level.
I was raised in New Mexico but moved to Arizona with my wonderful husband and three kids 7 years ago. As much as I love and miss the city I come from, I love the amount of fun activities to do with my kids here as well as the great food we find when we visit new food spots. I enjoy spending time with my family. Our favorite activities include visiting Escape Rooms together and enjoying family movie nights on Fridays.
I'm very much a homebody and when I'm not running my kids around to different sports or helping them with homework, I love spending my downtime reading a good book, solving puzzles, watching documentaries, scrapbooking, and occasionally shopping.
I enjoy fostering a passion for learning so that students can realize how amazing they are and encourage one another to be their best selves. I look forward to working with you this year to help your child grow both academically and emotionally.
