About meMy name is Jennifer Malone and I am thrilled to be your child's 1st Grade teacher this year. This year marks my 8th year of teaching. I have had experience teaching 2nd and 3rd grade over the years, and now I can add 1st grade to the list. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Brigham Young University, my CA Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from the Induction program through UCLA, and my CLAD certificate from the University of San Diego. It is a true honor to be working with your children to help them to learn and grow.

Who I am |
I am a busy mommy to three kids, ranging in age from 12 to 8. I am a wife to a husband who keeps a smile on our faces. As a family, we love to travel, play, spend time in nature and laugh together. I like to read, travel, go to the theater, listen to music, swim, camp, spend time with my family and go out with friends. I am a part of an outstanding group of professionals at Lydiksen Elementary who collaborate, share and support one another. I am a teacher to amazing, unique, energetic and ready-to-learn students. I am passionate about teaching and making a difference in my students' lives.

my History |
I grew up in the San Diego North County area, along the coast and as a result, I love the beach! I enjoyed growing up in the laid-back town where my family had Thanksgiving morning breakfast at the beach every year, where I wore shorts and flip-flops to visit Santa, and where surf PE was a real elective in high school. It was in high school that I met my husband when he moved into town our Junior year. After high school graduation I went to BYU in Provo, UT to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. It was a huge adjustment moving from the beach to the snow, and not one that I particularly loved! During this time in life I finished my degree, got married and worked as a 2nd grade teacher. Once my husband finished his MBA we moved back to the San Diego area where I began to teach 3rd grade, earned my CLAD credential, and a few years later we started our family. In 2012 we moved to Pleasanton for my husband's job and I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and returned to teaching in 2014. I have been at Lydiksen two years now and am so proud to be a Lancer! We love our lives in Pleasanton and are now happy spending our time with wonderful new friends and embarking on new adventures as a family.
