About me

Hi! My name is Jessica McMaster and I am the 6th grade ELA teacher at Ivy Hawn Charter School of the Arts. This is my 10th year teaching and my 6th year teaching 6th grade. I was born and raised h​ere in Volusia County and have never lived anywhere else. I graduated from the University of South Florida with my B.A in English and from the University of Central Florida with my M.Ed. in Secondary Education - English Language Arts. I have always felt that teaching was my calling and that I was meant to be in the classroom. I believe kids learn best when you show them that you truly care about them and value them as a person. The best learning happens when the classroom is a positive and welcoming environment. I am looking forward to getting to know your students this year and getting them excited about reading and writing!
