About Mrs. Jensen

IMG_0825Hi!  I’m Rebecca Jensen, kindergarten teacher at Kooser Elementary.

This year will be my 16th year teaching. I began as a first grade teacher, then became a looping kindergarten-first grade teacher (I would stay with my students for two years… wonderful!), and then decided to settle down with kindergarten. I love the excitement and wonder these little ones bring to school each day!

I earned my Bachelors Degree in Education at the University of Nebraska in 1999, a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an endorsement in Early Childhood from Doane in 2004, and a Masters Degree in Historical Studies from Wesleyan University in 2010. I am not sure what I will do next, but I have several ideas for my next learning adventure!  My husband, David, and I have 5 wonderful kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and the occasional orphaned raccoons!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you and your child. Although I haven’t met him or her yet, I have already reserved a special place for them in my heart! If you ever have questions or concerns you can contact me at rjensen2@lps.org (don’t forget the 2), or call me at Kooser at 402-436-1146. I look forward to partnering with you this year!
