"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."

Second Grade Teacher
"To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun!" This quote by Katherine Graham epitomizes the last twenty-four years of my career in the field of education. I have had the honor of teaching in the Littleton Public Schools since my graduation from the University of Northern Colorado in 1985, most of which has been spent at Peabody Elementary. At U.N.C., I earned a bachelor of arts degree in Elementary Education (K-6) and Special Education (K-12). Later, I received my master’s degree in Educationally Handicapped (K-12) from the University of Denver. For the first six years of my teaching career, I taught special education. Currently, I am in my sixth year of teaching second grade, but have also taught fifth grade and fourth grade. I am originally from Casper, Wyoming. I moved to Colorado to attend college. I enjoy spending time with family and friends - dancing, playing golf, watching the Broncos, and reading.

Jennifer Hurley Jennifer Hurley is moving from 3rd grade to our second grade team in the 2009-2010 school year.
I am thrilled to be back at Peabody this year! This will be my fourth year at Peabody. Having taught two years at third grade, I am excited to join the second grade team this year.
My history at Peabody actually began in 1985 where I attended Peabody as a student. Even as a student, I was already in love with learning. My hope for my students each day is to develop that love for learning in them.
I graduated from Arapahoe High School, and received my degree in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Psychology from Metro, where I also completed the Teacher Certification program.
When I am not working at school, I am spending time with my new husband, Patrick, our dog, Conner, and my large family of 3 brothers and 1 sister (all of whom are products of LPS). My favorite pastime is reading, although I have a weakness for shopping and great deals.

Hi! My name is Janae Duclon-Snyder, I am coming to Peabody from Ames Elementary where I also taught 2nd grade. I feel very fortunate to be able to join the wonderful Peabody family! I grew up in Littleton and my entire family, including my parents, are Littleton Public School graduates. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder (Go Buffs!) majoring in history and elementary education. After graduation I student taught in 2nd grade and taught 1st grade in Jefferson County. I then moved to Naples, Florida where I taught as the classroom inclusion teacher in a special education 3rd grade classroom for 2 years. In 2007 I decided to return to Colorado and taught 3rd grade in Aurora Public Schools. I am also working on my Masters Degree for Special Education at CU Denver. This will be my 6th year teaching and I can’t wait for a wonderful year full of learning and discovery!
In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, my new husband and especially with my niece and nephew (and…two more on the way!) I have two dogs one of which is a very energetic puppy, and the other which is a “Marley-like” lab who is almost two (so he will most likely act like a puppy for another year.) Needless to say, a lot of my time is spent keeping them entertained! We enjoy going for long walks, fetching tennis balls in the lake and romping around the dog park.
Please feel free to stop in and visit our wonderful learning community!
