Welcome to First Grade! My name is Sara Downs and I'm a first grade teacher here at Jefferson Elementary.  I obtained my BS in Childhood Education (1-6) and a Dual Master's Degree in Students with Disabilities (1-6) and Literacy (B-6).  I have been teaching first grade for 10 years now. I love seeing the growth First Graders make within this school year! I'm looking forward to working with you and your little one.
