Below is our current homeroom teaching roster. * indicate partner teachers.  You will be notified of your homeroom teacher assignment at the end of August.

Ms. Dongmei Tan校长– Principal

With great honor, I am writing this introduction letter as your Principal at Jing Mei Elementary School.

I am excited for this opportunity to continue to serve you after being the Dean of Students and the Assistant Principal at Jing Mei. Before entering my administrator role, my experience ranged from World Language teacher, English Language Learner Support teacher, and classroom teacher in both private and public schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bellevue. Since Jing Mei started at Bellewood as a new school in 2013, I have become part of this wonderful community. I was a classroom teacher and Instructional Technology Curriculum Leader (ITCL). Then I transitioned to the Teaching and Learning Department as an Instructional Mentor for new teachers in ten different elementary schools across the district.

I believe in educational equity, which makes it possible for all students to have the opportunity to access the educational resources and services they need. My schooling and life experience in China and the U.S. gave me different perspectives on what the public and private school systems work and do not work for some students. My multilingual lived experience, speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, Taishanese, and English with my three young children, has shaped how I support our multilingual and dual language learners at Jing Mei.

I am committed to being a leader and advocate who can help create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff. A positive school culture makes a difference in our students’ life since they step onto our campus on day one. Our students are the future world creators, and it takes all of us to make their experience unique and successful. This letter is not only my introduction but also an invitation for you to join me in creating a wonderful year together!

我很荣幸成为您在景美小学的校长。

我以前在景美担任过学生院长和副校长的职位，现在我很开心有可以继续为您服务我很高兴能有机会。在进入管理层之前，在纽约市曼哈顿和纽约布鲁克林,还有华盛顿州贝尔维尤市的私立和公立学校担任过世界语教师、英语学习者支持教师以及班主任的工作。自从 2013 年景美作为一所新学校开始工作以来，我已经成为景美社区的一部分，我曾经是景美的一名班主任和教学技术课程负责人 (ITCL)。后来，我转到教育局里面担任其他十所小学新教师的指导导师。

我相信教育需要的公正，这让所有学生都有机会获得他们需要和应有的教育资源和服务。我在中国和美国的教育和生活经历让我对公立和私立学校系统如何运作和不运作有了不同的看法。我从小就在多语种环境长大，现在作为三个年幼的孩子的妈妈，跟他们同时学习普通话、广东话、台山话和英语的生活经历塑造了我如何支持景美的双语甚至是多语言学习的学生和社区成员。

我致力于成为一名领导者和倡导者，可以帮助为所有学生、家庭和教职员工创造一个包容和正面的环境。从学生在第一天踏入我们的校园的第一步开始，积极的学校文化就影响到他们的校园生活。我们的学生是未来世界的创造者，需要我们所有人一起让他们的经历独特并且成功。 这封信不仅是我的介绍，更是一封邀请函，邀请您与我一起共创美好的一年！

Eric Shelton– Assistant Principal

Over the past 16 years I have served in many capacities, all centered on language learners and global competency.  This is my second year as an assistant principal at Jing Mei.  Before that I served as the Secondary Multilingual Curriculum Developer, with a focus on language acquisition and dual language programs in Bellevue, both Spanish and Mandarin.  Before that I was an MLL facilitator at Sammamish High School and Stevenson Elementary.  I have also taught high school and middle school World Language Spanish courses.  In addition, I have a master’s degree in Special Education.  All my experiences throughout my career have been focused on meeting the needs of our diverse student population.

Although I was born and raised in the United States, my mother was Greek and always opened my world to new experiences.  My family and I speak multiple languages.  I remember, as a child in daycare, asking for one of the daycare workers, who was Cuban, to teach me Spanish while all the other children were playing with toys.  Language has always been at the center of my work and passion because I believe we should always celebrate, elevate, and make visible the languages of all our staff, students and families. This is one of the most powerful ways to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

At Jing Mei, I am committed to equity and creating a safe space for all.  I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you this school year!

Naomi Yen  颜如玉辦公主任 – Office Manager

Hi everyone, my name is Naomi Yen. I was born in LA and raised in Taichung City, Taiwan. I first came to Seattle when I was 3^rd grade, and I went to Enatai School in Bellevue for two years and went to high school in Tacoma, WA. I got my medical degree and finished residency in Beijing in Peking University. My education background has giving me a very bilingual experience. Because of this, I adapt to new environment quickly and love to learn and get to know people with different back ground.

I am very happy to be part of Jing-Mei Family. Working as a school secretary for the past three years have giving a lot of experience that I don’t have and learned from the medical school. Everyday is full of unpredictable surprises and excitement. I appreciate Jing-Mei give me the opportunity to be the new office manager. I wish my professional experience back in medical field and working in Jing Mei for the past three years can support and assist as much as possible for our school, staff, student and community.

大家好，我是Naomi，我姓颜。 我在加州出生，在台中台湾长大。我小学3年级时来到西雅图就读，当时在Enatai小学上学，高中也在这边就读。我在北京大学就读医学院，也完成住院医师实习。 我在一个双语环境下长大，由于我的教育背景，让我能快速适应新环境并且时常对许多新事物感到很多好奇心，也对于学习新事物感到很兴奋。

我很开心能够在景美小学工作并且是这个大家庭的一份子。过去3年作为学校秘书，让我学习及经验了很多。这些经验是过去中我从来没有体验过。每一天都充满了各式各样的挑战，这让我每天回家都感到很满足以及许多正能量。我很感谢景美给我机会担任办公室主任。我希望我过往的医学工作经验以及在景美过去3年的秘书经验能让我更好的支持我们的学校，老师，同事，学生及社区。

Ms. Vera Pan-Office Secretary

Becoming a mother and watching my own children firsthand struggle with bilingualism, I became more and more fascinating with how people learn in general and particularly languages. I started slowly first volunteering as a school helper at my children’s bilingual preschool. I then spent two years home schooling my kids in both English and Chinese. I decided then to make a career change to become an educator focusing on teaching/tutoring young minds in the Chinese Language and Culture.

Before becoming the school secretary at Jing Mei, I worked as a substitute GSA and para educator here, I had the opportunity to engage with many levels of students each with wonderful stories, curiosity and background. I am excited and committed to help students at Jingmei to realize their full potential, to discover how to best communicate their ideas, their fears, and their passions. I appreciate the opportunity that Jingmei has given me to be an influence on their lives in such a unique environment.

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere”

Thank you and may we all realize our dreams!

大家好，我是Vera (Ms. Pan)， 中文名字是潘琼宇。我出生并成长于中国上海。随着生活和工作阅历的增长，我体会到这世界变得越来越国际化，和对跨文化交流需求的不断增长。我毕业于上海师范大学，之后在新西兰怀卡托大学深造。在跨国公司（Home Depot 和 General Motors）的13年工作经历中，我曾担任过数据分析师，后来转行从事了采购。在2019年为了改变，我决定与丈夫和两个孩子一起搬到美国生活。

在成为一名母亲之后，看着自己的孩子在双语的环境中成长，我开始了解孩子是如何学习，尤其是语言。我开始积极参与他俩的双语幼儿园的志愿工作，并在之后的两年时间在家指导他们学习中英文以及其它内容。这也促成了我做出了改变职业的决定，成为一名专注于儿童在中国语言和文化方面学习的教育者。

在成为景美的学校助理前， 我也担任过学校的代理的GSA和特殊教育助教，我有机会与各个年级的学生互动，每个学生都有着他们精彩故事，有好奇心，这令我很激动。我希望能帮助到每位景美的学生，发掘他们的潜能，学习如何最好地表述自己，克服他们的恐惧，保持他们对学习的热情。我感谢景美给我的机会。

“学习是一种随处可见的宝藏。”

谢谢大家，愿我们实现梦想！

Ms. Elaine Ling Yin  – Kindergarten Homeroom 幼儿园

Hi all! My name is Ling Yin, and you can call me Elaine. I am from Jiangsu Province, China. Born and raised in a small town in Taizhou, I am fluent in two dialects and Mandarin. Started to learn English when I was in 5^th Grade, I eventually majored in English Language and received my Bachelor’s degree from Nanjing Normal University. I had been teaching English in Shenzhen, Guangdong for 5 and a half years, and my students were mostly 3 to 12 years old. After I moved to Seattle, I started off as teaching Mandarin as a part time job. Later, I finished Elementary Teacher Preparation Program at University of Washington and received my Master’s degree in teaching. I like to work with my students and their caretakers closely. All of my prior experience laid a solid foundation for me to be a better teacher. I like to work with my students and their caretakers closely and believe that all kids are teachable. My favorite quote is that where there is a well, there is a way!

Ms. Cui Sun- Kindergarten Homeroom 幼儿园

大家好! 我的名字叫孙璀。我出生于中国杭州，美丽的西子湖畔。 我从小喜爱阅读与写作，喜欢翻阅父母书架上的书籍，阅读建立了我积极向上的人生观，也启发了我学习英文的兴趣。在本科期间，我主修英语辅修教育。在美国研究生阶段，我攻读了佐治亚大学的学前教育。经过理论加实践，我对美国小学教育有了更深刻的理解，也希望学以致用。毕业后，我来到明尼苏达的一所沉浸式中文学校担任学前班班主任，并取得了明尼苏达的小学教育资格证。在明尼苏达任教的十余年，我感受到了中美教育理念和文化的碰撞，这种碰撞让我更好地融合两种理念的优势，并在从中找到平衡。这对于学生是受益颇多的。今年有幸在景美学前班任教。我很期待和我的学生们开始一段欢乐的双语学习之旅。工作之余，我喜欢与家人一起旅行，我也喜欢烘培美食。

Ms. Qilin Bi-Kindergarten Homeroom 幼儿园

Ms. Xi Sun- Kindergarten Homeroom 幼儿园

Now in my eighth year at Jingmei, I remain steadfast in my dedication to inspire growth and curiosity among our kindergarteners. My role as a mother to two spirited toddlers enriches my understanding of children and education, infusing my teaching with energy, enthusiasm, and creativity. Guided by an unwavering belief in valuing each child and fostering respect, my teaching approach remains vibrant. My journey also encompasses leadership roles, including the presidency of CLTA-WA (Chinese Language Teachers Association of Washington State), collaborative work with Mandarin Matrix on developing Dual Language Immersion materials, and guiding fellow educators in the Asia Society Teacher Leader Cultivation Program. 

Outside the classroom, my family and I relish the joys of travel, outdoor exploration, and treasured moments with friends. My commitment to lifelong learning ensures that my teaching continues to evolve and impact young lives. It’s an honor to be part of the Jingmei community, where I have been passionately committed to shaping young minds and empowering them to contribute positively to our world. 

大家好！我是孙希，非常高兴能够成为景美小学幼儿园的教师。我本科毕业于华东师范大学，主修对外汉语，辅修应用心理学。毕业后，我有幸来到纽约大学同时学习汉语教育专业及英语教育专业。在加入景美小学之前的七年中，我曾在纽约、丹佛和上海等地教过不同年龄段的学生。 

很荣幸能够在2015年成为景美的一员。如今，我依然是个对教学充满了活力、热情又喜欢创新的老师，坚信寓教于乐的方式可以让教学高效又充满乐趣。感谢我的两个儿子们的到来，让我伴着他们一起成长和学习，对儿童及教育不断有新的见解和认识。我喜欢学习和分享，曾有幸担任华州中文教师学会的主席、与Mandarin Matrix合作开发双语沉浸式教材，也曾在亚洲协会教师领袖培养项目中指导其他老师。 

在课堂之外，我和家人们喜欢旅游、运动、寻觅美食、和朋友聚会，以及各种户外活动。感谢您让我有机会与您分享我的坚定、热情和执着。

Ms. Jiayin Yu-1st Grade Homeroom一年级

I was born in Shanghai, and I grew up in various regions of China, including Jilin, Yunnan, and Shandong. I graduated with dual degrees from Tongji University in Shanghai. Education runs in my family, with many relatives being involved in this amazing field. In fact, my mother was once my chemistry teacher and continues to inspire and educate students to this day. Influenced by this background, I’ve always been passionate about education. That’s why, ten years ago, when my family moved to the United States, I immersed myself in educational activities. Over the years, I have taught Chinese classes in both public and private schools and acquired a master’s degree in special education in Seattle.

I adore the rich diversity of cultures in this beautiful country, and I especially cherish the adorable, positive, and hardworking students I have the pleasure of teaching. The 2023-2024 school year will mark my fourth year as a first-grade homeroom teacher at Jing Mei, and I’m excited to bring even more “good news” to Jing Mei and all the students!

大家好，我是虞佳音。我出生在上海，在中国的吉林、云南、山东等多个地区长大，在上海的同济大学毕业并获得双学位。我的家族中有很多人都从事教育工作，我的妈妈就曾是我的化学老师，而且她至今仍在教书育人。耳濡目染，我一直对教育充满兴趣。因此，自十年前和我先生与孩子一起移居美国后，我就投身到了教育活动中，在多所公立和私立小学以及线上教授过中文课，并在西雅图攻读完成了特殊教育硕士。我非常喜欢景美多元文化的融合氛围，也十分享受和景美可爱、积极、努力的学生们一起学习，2023-2024将是我在景美一年级的第四个学年，期待能为景美和学生们带来更多“佳音”！

Ms. Bing Liu 刘冰-First Grade Homeroom 一年级

Then I decided to continue my learning. I hope to know more about other country’s education and advanced teaching methods and skills. So I came to America and got my second master degree in TESOL program in Seattle University. The learning experience in America gave me a lot of ideas about the comparison and integration between the languages and cultures of America and China. I hope my classroom is a place for students to feel safe, comfortable and happy to develop their critical thinking ability and multi-cultural awareness.

I often ask myself: “What makes a good educator?” It is not until I became a teacher myself that I had a new understanding of education. For me, not only is it a career but more of a kind of responsibility, belief, and passion. Education is the most important part of everyone’s life, which is reflected through countless common incidents in our lives. I think the small incidents in education have framed the big concept. My objective is to make changes to education from those tiny details in classroom which could make a big difference!

我的名字叫刘冰，我很开心加入景美这个大家庭。 我出生在中国吉林省长春市。从我开始学习阅读时，就爱上了文学的世界。阅读打开了我看世界的大门， 启发我时刻独立思考，并把从阅读中得到的感悟和思索用到自己的生活和学习中。所以我在大学和研究生期间，继续中国语言与文学方向的学习，我本科毕业于哈尔滨工业大学，并且因为成绩优异获得保送攻读东北师范大学研究生学位的机会。在我研究生毕业后，我在长春市解放大路中学任教一年。在这一年中，我多次参加青年教师公开课大赛，磨练自己的教学技能。

在一年的工作之后，我深知作为一名教育者所需要的继续学习的重要性。所以我来到美国，在西雅图大学攻读我的第二个研究生学位。在中国的学习与教学经历与来到美国后我感受到的教育、教学上的不同时常引发我的反思，设想怎样把创新的教学方法用到自己的课堂中 ，怎样让学生利用宝贵的时间掌握更加有价值的知识和能力。我希望学生在我的课堂可以在快乐中学习，培养学生的批判性思维能力和多元文化意识，让学生可以站在不同的立场和角度思考问题。

我总会问自己，怎样做一个好老师。当我真正成为一名教师时，才对教育有了新的理解，并且随着时间流逝，我想我会有更深的认知。教育是我们生命中最重要的部分，它存在并反映在教室或生活中的每一件小事上。在我的教室里，我会致力于关注学生的每一个点滴，每一件小事，从“小”处累积、引导与启发，从而对学生形成有益的影响。

Ms. Shengnan Li-1st Grade Homeroom一年级

Hi! My name is Shengnan Li, and I am very excited to join the 1^st grade at Jingmei Elementary School!

I was born in Wuhu, China, which is sitting on the southeast bank of the Yangtze River. I did my bachelor’s in English education, and after that I worked in a public school in China for four years.

I have a Master of Education from University of Pittsburgh and a second master’s in teaching from University of Washington. I worked at Carnegie Mellon University as an early childhood educator, where I had the opportunity to work with multicultural and multilinguistic students. I am also a registered behavior technician, with experience working with students who have autism. Until now, I have taught preschool through high school and all those great experiences that filled my heart with joy.

Two years ago, our family moved to Seattle and currently I live in Bellevue with my husband and two sons. I enjoy hiking, cooking and reading.

大家好，我叫李胜男。很高兴加入景美小学成为一年级的老师！

两年前，我和先生，两个孩子搬到西雅图。 我们很喜欢西雅图的山，水，和其他自然风光！在闲暇时间，我喜欢爬山，烹饪，和阅读。

Ms. Ying Liu-2nd Grade Homeroom 二年级

As a second-grade teacher, I am excited to enter another year at Jing Mei Elementary School!  Before receiving my master’s degree in Elementary Education, I started college at Beijing Normal University and The University of Washington.  Being an educator since 2009 has shown me that children have unlimited capabilities for learning if given the right opportunities.  My goal is to make learning as engaging and fun as possible.  It is rewarding to see my students grow and socially develop into successful members of our community.  

I am originally from Inner Mongolia, China, and when I came to Seattle, I completely fell in love with our beautiful city and loving community.  My family, including my daughter and husband, enjoy exploring our beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery. It is an honor to be a part of the families I teach.  I am thrilled you are in my classroom community this year! 

  大家好！ 我叫刘莹，很高兴能成为景美二年级的老师。因为当老师是我从小的梦想，高考以后我如愿的进入北京师范大学学习。2007 年，我有机会来美国学习深造，在华盛顿大学完成了本科学位。在获得硕士学位之前，在西雅图城市大学取得了小学教师资格证。自从2009年成为一名教育工作者，我一直相信的教学理念是培养学生自己学习的能力，快乐的学习，成为对社会有用的人才。我坚信只要教育者提供给学生对的方法和机会，他们一定会有无限的潜力去学习和成功。 

我在中国内蒙古出生长大。当我来西雅图求学的时候就被这个美丽又有人文环境的城市所吸引。业余时间，我喜欢和我的先生和孩子欣赏华盛顿州的自然风光。我很荣幸能够加入到景美这个大家庭。期待与你见面，与你一同学习! 

Ms. Sophie Yu-Hsuan Huang 黄韻璇老师 – Second Grade Homeroom 二年级

Hello! My name is Sophie Huang. I am thrilled to be a second-grade teacher this year. I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. I had been teaching English in Taipei for five years. In order to develop my professionalism, I came to the US in 1998 and earned a MA in Linguistics from California State University Long Beach, specializing in Teaching English as a Second Language. I was impressed by the diversity and enjoyed teaching in multi-cultural classroom as an ESL instructor in Long Beach City College. I moved to Seattle 7 years ago and I worked as a mandarin teacher in Tzu-Chi Academy. I enjoy teaching and learning with my students very much.

My philosophy of teaching is to treat students as an individuals and inspire them to reach their full potential in a positive, inclusive and stimulating learning environment, as well as helping students achieve global competency by enriching learning and let them become the creators of their own world. I look forward to growing with the Jing Mei community with my enthusiasm.

Outside the classroom, I like doing some crafts and scrapbooking. I also enjoy various activities, such as hiking, Zumba dancing, and sightseeing. I love travelling with my family and eating authentic country food. Travelling around the world is my dream.

大家好！我是黄韻璇，今年是我在景美小学的第三年，我非常开心在今年成为景美小学的二年级老师。从小我就立志要当老师，一路受到老师的鼓励努力去追求自己的梦想。在台担任过五年的儿童美语老师， 我非常热爱教学，喜欢跟学生一起教学相长。为了可以成为专业的教育工作者来帮助更多的学生，我选择来到美国继续深造。我在加州大学长滩分校获得了英语教学硕士学位，并且在长滩学院任职英语教学讲师，感受到双语环境的教学文化及乐趣。七年前搬到气候宜人的西雅图，非常喜欢这里的人文环境及多元化教育，也于慈济人文学校继续任教。并且通过西雅图城市大学教师培训课程，获得了华盛顿州小学教师及双语教育的教师资格证。因材施教是我的教学理念。为了让每个学生发挥他们的学习潜能及专长，我给与多元化及不断革新的安全学习环境，启发学生的自我探索及动手实践与创新，让他们能在学习过程中更了解自己。在这全新的一年，我会继续秉持教学的热忱，与大家一起学习和成长。

闲暇之余，我喜欢听音乐，运动，爬山，跳有氧舞，做做美术劳作。更爱和家人到处旅游，探索各国文化及美食。踏遍世界也是我的梦想。

Ms. Molly Qinqin Xi 奚沁沁-2nd Grade Homeroom 二年级

Hello everyone! I’m honored to be a part of the Jing Mei community. I grew up in Shanghai, China – after finishing my undergraduate degree in finance there, I moved to Seattle to pursue my Master’s in Education, specializing in TESOL. I now live in Issaquah with my husband and two children. I previously taught English to adults as an ESL instructor at Seattle Community College. After becoming a parent, I discovered my passion for teaching children, and began pursuing certification to become an elementary school teacher. I completed my teaching internship in Jing Mei and was attracted by its family-like environment. Besides Elementary Education endorsement, I’m also endorsed in World Languages in Chinese, ELL and Bilingual Education.

I value and respect each student’s distinct cultural and family background with a unique blend of individual traits, preferences, and beliefs. I believe the power of choice inspires students’ learning: students should have choices in learning and presenting their knowledge, since each of us is unique in the way we sense the world and construct knowledge. My goal is to build a classroom where students of many learning styles and abilities can fully engage with the curriculum and become more independent learners.

Some of my favorite hobbies are Chinese calligraphy, painting, exercising and photography, and most of all, spending time with my family.

大家好！我非常荣幸能够加入景美社区。我在中国上海出生长大，大学毕业后来到了西雅图攻读教育硕士。我和我的家人目前居住在Issaquah。我有两个孩子。我曾经在Seattle Community College做成人英文老师，但是做了妈妈以后，我发现我更多的热情在于教育孩子上，所以我转向攻读教师证，希望能成为一名小学老师，我在景美小学完成了我的实习，在这期间被景美小学的家庭氛围所吸引。我除了拥有小学教育资质，也拥有双语教学，ELL 和世界语言教学的资质。

我重视并尊重每个学生所带来的独特的家庭与文化背景，以及他们每个人所独有的特性，爱好和信仰。我深信选择在激励学生学习中的力量，每个学生都应当在学习过程中和他们对知识的表达展示中拥有选择的权利，毕竟每个人对于知识的接收和表达都是与众不同的。我的目标是在我的教室中，不同学习方式和兴趣的学生都能够积极参与其中，享受学习，变成一个独立的学习者。

业余时间，我是个中国书法和绘画的爱好者，也非常喜欢健身和摄影,但是我最喜欢的是和我的家人在一起。

Ms. Zhiyin Jin   靳知吟– 3rd Grade Homeroom(English) 三年级（英文)

Hi everyone! My name is Zhiyin Jin. I am from Shanghai, China. I have always wanted to be a teacher since my childhood. When I was little, I arranged my dolls on my bed and played pretend teacher. To make my dream come true, I went to East China Normal University and majored in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. During my senior year, I was an intern in Shanghai American School, where I experienced the U.S. school model, education philosophies and instructions. I was amazed at the learner anatomy that I saw across the campus.  My internship there arose my interest in learning about more elementary and secondary education in the U.S. After college, I went to Teachers College, Columbia, where I studied and compared the education system in the U.S. and China, especially in bilingual education field. After graduation, I chose to be a dual language teacher in a public school in New York City. Most of my students spoke another language at home or came from lower-income family. In my five year of teaching life there, I enjoyed connecting with my students and their families and helping my students to be confident in their learning. I am so honored to join the second grade team in Jing Mei. I hope I can help every student to find their strengths in learning and their own learning styles. Outside the classroom, I like hiking and swimming. I am also always ready to try something new, whether it is delicious food or an adventure.

大家好，我叫靳知吟，来自中国上海。我从小的心愿就是当一位老师。还记得小时候，我会在家里把娃娃一排排放好，然后假装我是老师，给它们上课。为了完成儿时的梦想，我报考了华东师范大学，学习对外汉语。在大四的时候，我去了上海美国国际学校实习。在那里，我接触到了美国中小学的教学理念和模式。校园中无处不在的自主学习氛围也让我惊叹。这让我对于美国基础教育产生了浓厚的兴趣。于是，我来到了哥伦比亚大学读双语双文化教育专业，进一步学习、比较和思考双语教育在两国的不同发展。毕业后，我选择在纽约的一所公立学校做双语老师，主要服务母语非英语和低收入家庭学生。在我五年的教学生涯里，我喜欢和学生还和家长交流，帮助学生在学习中变得更自信。我很荣幸能够成为景美二年级组的一员。希望我能够帮助每一个学生找到他们自己的学习特点和方式，快乐地学习和成长。在教学之余，我喜欢爬山和游泳。我也喜欢尝试新的东西，无论是美食还是一段冒险。

Ms. Mariola Madejczyk – 3rd Grade Homeroom(English) 三年级（英文) – Substitute 

My name is Mariola Madejczyk. I feel honored to join the Jing Mei family in September 2023 as a long-term substitute teacher for Ms. Zhiyin Jin 靳知吟 in 3rd Grade Homeroom (English).

My passion for teaching comes from my great enthusiasm for learning. I consider myself a lifelong learner and love sharing this passion with others. I believe that education is crucial in becoming an independent, creative person who can solve problems of the modern world.

I was born and raised in Poland. A person who inspired me to become a teacher was my high school biology teacher. To pursue my goal, I went to Jagiellonian University in Poland and received a master’s degree in biology; but another one of my interests was psychology, so I entered the second program and achieved a master’s in psychology shortly after. After university I worked as a counselor and therapist.

It’s been fifteen years since my family and I decided to move to the USA. After my third child was born, I felt that my family was complete and came back to my dream about becoming a teacher. I started teaching at Polish School in Bellevue where I worked for eight years. Shortly after, I got hired as a preschool teacher, then entered a teacher certification program at CityU in Seattle, and finally became a certified teacher. I did my internship at Jing Mei for both of my endorsements, elementary and multilingual learner education. I feel very lucky that I was able to learn from the excellent JM staff that values high quality education, together with the importance of student diversity and respect for everyone. For the last couple years, I have been a substitute teacher in Bellevue School District and Lake Washington School District.

As a parent of bilingual kids, I realize how challenging it is to obtain two or more languages, but on the other hand, how wonderful and mind opening it is and how much it helps a young person to grow, develop, and understand the world around them.

I believe in what a great American anthropologist, Margaret Mead, said, that “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think”.

I like to fill my free time with walking my dog, playing board games with my family, traveling, and most of all, skiing.

I look forward to supporting your child on their educational journey at Jing Mei.

Ms. Chunghui Jo Sung (Ms. Shan) 單忠慧老師 – 3rd Grade Homeroom（Chinese） 三年级(中文） 

I hail from Taiwan and am the older of two children in my family. Both my parents are retired government workers who placed great emphasis on my education and granted me the freedom to develop my own individuality. My motto is: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” 

I have been inspired to become a teacher since my early childhood. To accomplish my goal, I have acquired a bachelor’s degree in special education and a master’s degree in education. I have a K-12 teacher certificate from Taiwan. I taught two years in kindergarten and six years in elementary school. I immigrated to Seattle in 2012 and started to teach Chinese since then. This year will be my ninth year with the Bellevue School District. I am very excited about the new school year and fully committed to continuing my passion to teach and educate. I have tremendous respect for the great thinker and educator, John Dewey. His education philosophy focuses on meaningful learning activities and classroom democracy. Learning by doing and developing practical life skills is crucial to children’s education. My teaching centers on children’s learning process and not the end result. The end result is important, but a happy and democratic learning environment can help children gain valuable life experience and provide them with instruments of effective self-direction. 

My aspiration is to allow the children to have freedom for development and the ability to discover their hidden potential. At the same time, I will continue my professional development and give my best effort to the Jing-Mei school community. 

 我是單忠慧，來自於台灣，在家中排行最大，父母親皆是公務員退休。父母親從小重視我的教育，讓我自由適性的發展外，也常常提醒我身教和言教的重要，要做弟弟的好榜樣。從小父母就經常教導我，要對自己所做的事負責任，並培養我獨立自主的思考能力。因此養成了我較同齡孩子獨立及早熟的個性，我的座右銘是「有志者事竟成」。 

我從小便立志當老師。因為志向明確，所以大學選系時，我不假思索的進入教育系就讀。我大學畢業於特教系，擁有台灣K-12身心障礙科和資賦優異科的教師資格證。此外，我亦於國立台北教育大學獲得教育學碩士，擁有K-6小學普通科的教師資格證。在求學時期，我常常利用課餘時間擔任義工老師的工作，學生時期的所見所學，讓我成長了不少，除了充實自我的教學能力外，也讓我更清楚確定，未來擔任老師的志向。我在台灣擔任過兩年的幼稚園老師與六年的國小老師。2012年移民來西雅圖，在移民美國的第一年，我便開始擔任中文教師的工作。今年是我第九年進入貝爾維尤學區工作，我很期待新的一年，也會盡自己最大的努力。 

我十分推崇美國教育學家約翰。杜威所提倡的教育理念，藉由「做中學」的方式來指導孩子學習，並相信從「遊戲中學習」，可以讓孩子在快樂自然且生活化的情境中，獲得最大的學習效果。因此，我注重的是孩子的學習過程，而非學習結果。學習的成效固然很重要，但唯有良好的學習過程，才能從中獲得更多的經驗。 

我希望能夠讓每個孩子們自由的發展，將自我的潛能發揮得淋漓盡致。所以，在未來的教學上，期許自己能夠成為孩子們，在學習道路上的一盞明燈，照亮每位孩子的學習生活，並持續在自我專業領域上進修，為景美小學盡自己最大的努力。 

Ms. Han Zhang张涵老师 – Third Grade Homeroom Chinese） 三年级（中文）

My name is Han Zhang. Since the first time I came to Bellevue, I have been enthralled by the beautiful scenery, moved by everyone’s compassionate support, and the enthusiasm with which the students approached the Chinese language. As such, I am thrilled to return to Jing Mei Elementary School for my second year.
I grew up in a Chinese province known for its diversity of culture and language. Two years ago, I came to the U.S to continue my post-baccalaureate education and obtained my master degree in Elementary Education at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. My teacher education program provided me great opportunities to work hands-on with students in classroom settings. During this time, I discovered my passion in a dual language instruction while completing an internship at a dual language public school in Cambridge. Thereafter, I pursued my full time practicum in a mainstream public school in Arlington, Massachusetts. I hope to bring my theoretic knowledge obtained from Lesley University and professional experience from teaching in different school settings together to guide students in their academic and emotional development.

The study of language is not just learning to read and write; it is also a portal to learning about and understanding a different culture and tradition. My goal is to build a caring, nurturing, and exciting place of learning where students can grow academically and emotionally. I believe it is essential to foster a climate of high self-esteem, dedication to school and community, and a strong desire for life-long learning. I hope, through our combined efforts, to instill in our children a commitment to learning, critical thinking, curiosity, and desire to be challenged so that they may find joy in learning.

当我第一次来到Bellevue 时，就不禁被它的美景深深吸引，更被大家的热情和孩子们学习中文的渴望所感染，因此非常荣幸能在去年加入景美小学这个大家庭。

我生长在中国一个文化，民族，语言多样化的省市。 两年前，我来到美国马萨诸塞州的剑桥市读书，获得了小学教育专业的硕士学位。在硕士学习期间，我的学校为我提供了很多教学实践机会。其中包括在剑桥市一所公立双语小学的实习，在那里我感受到了双语教学的乐趣。我还在麻州的阿林顿市一所公立小学完成了全职教学实习。我希望能够把在大学学习的理论与在各个学校习得的宝贵经验结合起来，充分运用到自己的教学工作中。

学习语言不仅仅是会读会写，更重要的是能够利用语言学习到另一个民族或国家的文化与传统。我希望能把我的班级建立成一个大家团结友爱，互帮互助，热爱学习的地方。我相信通过我们共同的努力，每位同学都能够在学习，社交等各方面得到成长。 培养出一个自尊自爱，有强烈好奇心氛围的班级。我希望能够通过我的努力引导学生们热爱学习，有批判性思维，并能积极提问，在学习的过程中勇于探索与冒险, 希望每位同学都能成为快乐的学习者。

Mr. Eric Shyu – 4th Grade Homeroom (English) 四 年级（英文）

My name is Eric Shyu and I was born in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I worked for a couple years in the auto industry doing supply chain work. I had the opportunity to move out to the Seattle area, so I took a risk and quit my job to move out here. While I was job searching, I fell into work as a General School Assistant in the Bellevue School District at Cherry Crest Elementary and then Medina Elementary. During my time as a GSA, I really enjoyed working in a school setting, so I decided to enroll and take classes in order to become a teacher. Last spring, I received my master’s degree in Teaching from City University of Seattle. I am so excited to be a 3^rd and 4^th grade teacher here at Jing Mei Elementary. I am looking forward to listening to my students share about their lives and helping push them to be the best versions of themselves they can be. In my spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball, tennis, and most other sports. I have loved my time in the PNW and hope to be here for some time.

Ms. Kristine Guadiz – 4th grade Homeroom Teacher (English)-四年级(英文) 

Hello!  My name is Kristine Guadiz [gwa-dez].  I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and moved to Washington in 2001.  I studied at the University of British Columbia and Université de Trois-Rivières in Quebec, Canada, earning my B.A. in French and Spanish language and literature, my Bachelor of Education through U.B.C.’s French Immersion B.Ed. program with a focus on bilingual education, and later, my Master in Education. I also hold the Royal Conservatory of Music’s Teacher Certificate, teaching the piano, music theory and history for 26 years in my home piano studio. 

 Growing up as a Filipino-Canadian, I was fortunately surrounded by the many cultures of my extended family, and school, extra-curricular and work communities.  From the age of 6, our family had the privilege of getting to know and host almost 100 foreign exchange students from around the world.  They lived in our home for extended periods of time and each became a part of our family.  This nurtured in me a love for life-long learning, learning languages, and exploring the world through travel.  Early on, I realized the power in having the ability to communicate with others from around the world in their native tongue, learning about their cultures and lives, and building relationships that inspire growth and change.  I feel very blessed to be a part of our Jing Mei family, who also shares these same values. 

 This is my 23rd year of teaching in public education, having also taught at the middle school level and in Special Education. I speak French and conversational Spanish and practice every day with my daughter.  In my spare time, I love to read, be active outdoors, play several sports, take ballet classes, play the piano, play word games and explore new places with my husband and 8-year old daughter.

Ms. Kaige Zhang-Gantz- 4th Grade Homeroom (Chinese) 四年级 (中文)

My name is Kaige Zhang-Gantz and I am thrilled to learn and grow with my students at Jingmei! I have been teaching since I received my Bachelor degree in 2000. I firmly believe that all students have the power to excel and grow in whatever area they put their mind to, no matter their personality, background or learning style. I am happy to apply my knowledge and care in guiding my students every step of the way and helping them achieve their goals.

I was born in Henan province, China, the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Chinese language, culture and art have always been my passion as well as my profession. I have a Masters in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics from Beijing Normal University and a second Masters in Teaching Chinese as Second Language from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. I have taught for many years in both Chinese and American public schools, which has broadened my cultural perspective and deepened my commitment to my work. I look forward to sharing my experiences with the students of Jingmei.

In my spare time, I like to travel, hike, cycle, ski and camp with my family. I also like quiet moments to myself for practicing calligraphy, arranging flowers and drinking tea.

我是张凯歌，非常荣幸加入景美这个大家庭，和同学们共同成长。自2000年本科毕业开始教书以来，我坚定不疑地相信：只用用心，每个学生都有学习的能力。不管你的背景如何、性格如何、学习方式如何，我都愿意用我的知识和爱心陪伴你、引导你、帮助你一步步实现对自我的超越。

我生于长于中国河南省，中华文明的发源地。汉语、中国文化和艺术一直是我的兴趣所在，也是我的专业。在北京师范大学汉语文化学院取得语言学与应用语言学专业硕士学位后，2007年我来到美国明尼苏达州圣克劳德州立大学攻读第二个硕士学位，专业是对外汉语教学。多年在中国和美国公立学校的教学经验给了我跨文化的视野和更加笃定传播中国文化的决心，我非常期待和景美的孩子们分享自己的所学所获。

闲暇时间，我喜欢和家人一起爬山、旅游、骑自行车、滑雪和野营，也喜欢独自一人安静地写书法、插花和喝茶。

Ms. Hui-Chen Hsiung 熊慧珍老师 – 5th Grade Homeroom (Mandarin)  五年级 (中文)

Hi everyone, my name is Hui-Chen Hsiung. I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan.  Growing up on the beautiful island and learning English since I was in 3rd grade had always made me curious about the Western culture and wanted to explore more about it.  After receiving my undergraduate degree in Applied English of Business Management Department in Shih Chien University in Taiwan, I devoted years in teaching English to children from preschool to middle school levels in Taipei. The desire of exploring more on education brought me to the United State to study education at the Loyola University in Maryland. After receiving my master degree of Education and AMI Montessori teacher certificate, I went to New York working as a Montessori preschool teacher and taught Chinese at a Chinese school.

Knowing both paths of Montessori and Chinese teaching, I felt deeply connected to Chinese language teaching and wanted to help more American children acquire Chinese language through my personal language learning experience and knowledge of education for both cultures. This decision motivated me to pursue my teaching K-8 teacher license from Elementary Teaching Program at City University of Seattle. Teaching in a Mandarin Immersion Program for 2 years prior to joining the Dual Language Program at Jing Mei, I feel extremely thankful for the opportunities to have taught most of the elementary grade levels and learning new things with children and about myself. I have witnessed children learning both English and Chinese languages and growing to be confident and open-minded. It’s my pleasure to teaching at Jing Mei for the 8th year.  I am humble and excited to be able to serve our students and the community in this new school year.

Besides teaching and being with students, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and son.  We love reading books and playing Legos together. We also appreciate nature a lot. I am especially thankful to my children who are the true inspiration to help me become a better teacher each day!

大家好，我叫熊慧珍，出生于台湾台北。自小在台湾长大，三年级开始学习英语，激发了我对西方世界的好奇以及想要探索的渴望。从台湾实践大学应用外语系毕业后，我一直在台北教授不同年纪学生英语。因为这些体验让我加深了想要精进自己教学能力的想望，于是我只身前往馬里蘭羅耀拉大學攻读教育硕士。在取得学位和蒙特梭利合格师资后，我去了纽约执教，担任蒙特梭利幼儿园老师和中文学校老师。

在这两个并行的教育轨迹中， 我深深感到自己对于海外中文教育的热情，希望能藉由自身语言学习和对东西方教育的了解及认知来帮助美国学生快乐学习中文。这份盼望促使我于西雅图城市大学再度攻读小学教育，取得美国K-8年级教师资格证。再加入景美双语学校之前，我曾任职于华盛顿州的沉浸式中文小学课程。这些经历让我有幸能教导大多数的小学年级，接触不同年级、不同文化和不同母语的孩子以及他们在各个阶段的不同需求。我见证了双语学习的孩子具备的信心和开放心态。今年是服务景美小学的第8年，我感到很荣幸能为这个温暖的大家庭继续做出贡献。

工作之余，我享受和家人在一起的时光。 和丈夫、儿子及女儿在一起，我们很喜欢阅读和玩乐高,也钟爱接触大自然之美。我特别感激我的孩子，他们身上的一点一滴都显示教育者对孩子的影响力。我期许自己能做一位不断启发孩子潜力的老师！

Ms. Tiffany Jan– 5th Grade Homeroom (English) 五年级 (英文) 

I was born in Taiwan and moved to Washington in first grade. Throughout my childhood, I moved around quite a bit and went to school in Taiwan, China, and the U.S. During my K-12 education, I was fortunate enough to experience the different cultures and languages. With my personal experience with Chinese culture and bilingualism, I am very excited to join Jing Mei Elementary.

In high school, I’ve always had a enjoyed working with kids. I was a classroom volunteer at Tzu Chi Academy for 4 years, interned with a child counselor at a Montessori, and volunteered at various elementary classrooms. I graduated from University of Washington Bothell with a BA in Community Psychology and a minor in Education. After college, I became an Instructional Assistant at Somerset Elementary. During that year, I had an amazing experience working with the students and staff members that helped me solidify my decision to become a teacher. I completed my student teaching at Eastgate Elementary in a first grade classroom. I graduated with a MA in Teaching from Seattle University with an ELL endorsement.

This is my 7th year at Jing Mei and I am beyond excited to continue as a 5th grade teacher. 5th grade is the last year of elementary school. It’s the year when students explore and take on new challenges. I am looking forward to an amazing school year.

After earning my bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University, I joined a consulting firm that gave me the opportunity to work in IT consulting and recruiting. As my children got older, I volunteered in their classrooms more and more, and became inspired by the impact I can make on children as an educator. I worked as a paraeducator and assistant teacher/GSA (General School Assistant) at Jing Mei and Sherwood Forest and felt the joy and gratification of working with students as they learn and grow. I went on to pursue my Masters in Teaching degree at the University of Washington in Seattle including student teaching at Jing Mei, and joined the 5^th grade team at Jing Mei.

I am thrilled to continue to be part of the Jing Mei family. I believe in the value of dual language environments as well as being multilingual.

Ms. Zhi Geng 耿智老师 – ITCL (Instructional Technology & Curriculum Leader)

I was born and raised in central China. Both my two parents are teachers. At a very young age, I developed deep understand of the influence a teacher brings to students. My experience as a language tutor in college prompted me to realize how incredibly fulfilling teaching could be. I decided then to devote my career in education and to help students develop the most important tool for communication—language. I came to the United States to pursue a master’s degree in education at University of Pennsylvania. Fortunately, being immersed to the two cultures helped me realized the benefits of knowing the other side of the world and being internationally-minded through learning another language. I would like to pass these benefits on to my students and help them develop to be kind, understanding and accomplished global citizens in the future.

受家庭文化的熏陶，我从小就对教育事业有着天生的敬仰和向往。大学的志愿者经历更让我坚定了成为一名老师的职业理想。大学毕业之后，我来到美国费城的宾夕法尼亚大学攻读教育学硕士并开始有机会接触到中文教学。在我成长的过程里，英文的学习让我有机会更加了解这个世界也带给我更多地教育资源和工作机会，这些都是不可多得的宝贵人生经历。能够有幸投身到双语教学领域并加入景美这个茁壮成长中的学校让我觉得非常兴奋，希望我能带领我的学生们一起探索美妙的世界，并让他们领略到语言和知识的力量。

Ms. Xing Wei 魏星老师 -Multilingual Learner Facilitator多语言学习者促进者

Hello! My name is Xing Wei. I am so excited to be part of the Jing Mei community. I was born and raised in Guangdong, China. When I was young, I spoke Mandarin with my parents and spoke Cantonese with my classmates and teachers. I also learned English from my English tutor. I enjoy learning and speaking different languages and I feel proud of being bilingual and biliterate. It definitely shapes my identity and personality.

I obtained my B. ED degree from University of Macau, majoring in Pre-primary Education (3-6 years old). I worked as a full time teacher at a trilingual school during my senior year of college. I have witnessed students making great progress in learning Mandarin and English. To better equip myself as an early childhood educator, I decided to go to Teachers College, Columbia University for my MA degree. Now I am certified as a teacher of Early Childhood Education, Students with Disabilities and Bilingual Education (Birth to Grade 2). Throughout the learning journey in Teachers College, I student taught in different settings, including general kindergarten classroom, bilingual preschool classroom, and self-contained kindergarten/first grade classroom. Teaching in different settings dedicates myself to be a teacher of diverse learners. My goal is to maintain a safe, open, positive and supportive environment so every child can achieve his/her personal potentials at full capacity.

In addition to teaching, I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking as well as playing squash. Having access to all these activities makes Seattle a wonderful place to live! I am also excited and looking forward to a brand new year of learning and growth at Jing Mei!

大家好！我是魏星，很高兴能够加入景美这个大家庭。我来自中国广东省。小的时候我在家和父母说中文，在学校和老师同学讲粤语，周末的时候还会去上英文课。我从小就非常喜欢学习不同的语言。熟练掌握不同的语言让我觉得很自信、很独特。

我本科在澳门大学的专业是学前教育。在学校里我修读了很多关于幼儿心理和幼儿教学的课程。大四一整年我都在澳门一个私立三语学校做老师。从最开始小朋友只能听懂粤语到后来小朋友能熟练地运用中文和我对话，我见证了他们的成长和进步的过程。为了更好地帮助这些潜能无限的孩子，我选择前往哥伦比亚大学继续深造。经过两年的学习与实践，我获得了纽约州幼儿教育、特殊教育及双语教育的教师资格证。在哥大的学习生涯中，最让我受益的是在很多不同学校实习的经历。我既去过普通班级，还去过双语班级和有特殊学生的班级。这些经历让我迅速成长为一个懂得因材施教的老师。作为老师，我的目标是创建一个安全、乐观、和谐、有利于孩子成长的环境，让他们在这个环境中挑战自己、发挥自己最大的潜能。

在生活中，我很喜欢读书、游泳、登山和打壁球。我很开心能来到了风景如画的西雅图，我也很期待在景美开始一个全新的旅程。

Mr. Peng-Hsu ‘Eric’ Huang-Mandarin Dual Language Curriculum Developer

Dear Jing Mei Community, my name is Peng-hsu Huang and I also go by Eric Huang. I am the Mandarin Dual Language Program Curriculum Developer. I am from the gourmet paradise Taipei, Taiwan. I love to eat and love to cook too. I also love to travel but my travel usually has a purpose. For example, I have been visiting national parks, national monuments, national historical sites all over the United States. It is a way for me to learn and appreciate this country in a deeper and more meaningful way. I have visited over 200 parks so far and I hope I will be able to visit all the parks within my lifetime! I am passionate about teaching language because I firmly believe learning a language is not just about speaking the language grammatically correct, it is also learning about their culture which encapsulates food, holidays, philosophy, communication, and values. I know learning Chinese is not an easy task and I am so honored to have this opportunity to work with this community to continuously improve our curriculum. I look forward to the journey with our staff, teachers, and your children in a fun, safe, and productive learning environment.

Ms. Rui Gu – Resource Room Teacher 特殊教育资源教室老师

I’m Rui Gu from Sichuan, China, holding a Master of Science degree from Sun Yat-sen University. With a desire to bridge people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, I have worked as a reporter, radio host, travel book writer, and freelance writer between China and the United States.

Through my experiences and the birth of my child, I’ve come to deeply understand that investing in children is crucial to connect with a broader future. They are the continuous creators of diversity and beauty in the world. Consequently, I gradually dedicated myself to education.

Years ago, I participated in teaching in earthquake-stricken areas of Sichuan and impoverished regions in Northwest China. In 2018, I relocated from California to Seattle, where I became a Chinese teacher in a private school and enrolled in the teacher certification program at the City University of Seattle. During the 2019-2020 school year, I worked as a student teacher in Jingmei’s special education resource room and second grade, ultimately obtaining Washington State’s four endorsements in Elementary, Special Education, World Language, and Middle level Mathematics. Additionally, I have undergone nearly six months of basic psychology training and hold a primary First Aid certificate. These experiences have deepened my understanding of special education and enabled me to become a better teacher.

I eagerly anticipate building bridges for students to connect with the world, allowing them to overcome challenges, leverage their strengths, and fairly explore and enjoy this wonderful world. Education is both challenging and rewarding, which is why it captivates me. I am committed to giving my all to grow together with my students.

我叫顾芮，来自中国四川，中山大学理学硕士。

我曾希望成为不同背景、文化的人之间的桥梁，所以我在中美之间从事过记者、电台主持、旅行书作者和自由撰稿人等工作。

随着经历的丰富和我孩子的出生，我深感要连接更广阔的未来，离不开对孩子们的投入，因为他们才是世界多样性和美好的持续创造者。我因此逐渐投身教育事业。

多年前我曾参与四川地震灾区和中国西北贫困地区的支教工作。2018年，我从加州搬到西雅图，成为一所私立学校的中文老师，而后参与西雅图城市大学的教师认证项目。2019-2020学年在景美的特殊教育资源教室和二年级担任实习老师，最终获得了华盛顿州的小学、特殊教育、世界语言和中学数学四项资格证背书。我还接受过近半年的基础心理学培训，并持有初级救护员证书。这些学习和工作经历让我对教育有更深的理解，也帮助我成为了更好的老师。

我期待着为学生们搭建起与世界相连接的桥梁，使他们能够克服困难，充分发挥自身优势，并公平地探索和享受这个美妙的世界。教育是充满挑战也颇具价值的事，正因如此，它才充满魅力。我会全力以赴，和学生们共同成长。

Ms. Emily Chow-Paraeducator 特别教育助教

Hi! My name is Emily Chow and I am very excited to be a Para this year at Jing Mei.

My parents are from Hong Kong and Taiwan and I was born and raised in San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from Cal, I spent some time traveling in Central, South America and Europe, and Asia and also volunteering with children from low-income families and working in project management.

Although I did not speak much Chinese as a child, I started learning and speaking more Mandarin as an adult and I now speak only Mandarin at home with my 4 children.  Spanish is also our primary language at home because my husband is from Colombia. We have a large multicultural family, and we love interchanging cultures and learning about the diverse perspectives that make us human.

Before transferring to Jing Mei, I was a para at Highland Middle School and I had the opportunity to work in both the Pacific Para program and as a Resource Room Para. At Highland, I quickly discovered that part of my passion is working in education and another great passion of mine is working with my husband on a project called Space United where we use soccer and space to support inclusive access in STEM.

I love working with children and have never met a child who is not amazing to me. I thoroughly remember how hard it was to be a kid and how important support and meaningful connections with peers and adults are during childhood.  I strive to do my best to recognize our little human beings as the unique individuals who they are and help challenge and support them in positive ways.

I look forward to working with the wonderful staff, students and families of Jing Mei.

Ms. Nicole Marshalek-Paraeducator 特别教育助教

Ms. Lihua Wu吴丽华-Paraeducator 特别教育助教

大家好，我叫吴丽华。2008年定居Bellevue,大学毕业于外贸专业，毕业后在广州留校任教。拥有高等学院教师资格证书和全国普通话标准化考级证书。

2014年我非常荣幸加入景美大家庭，成为一名GSA。从Bellewood校区到现在的景美我亲眼目睹和亲身感受到景美小学的成长历程。在过去7年的GSA工作经历，让我认识到基础教育与高等教育的本质差别，基础教育更强调和注重儿童的学习过程及学习效果的最大化，我很珍惜这些年来和孩子们共同成长的美好经历。

自2021年12月我接受了景美小学的新职位，成为一名特殊教育的助教。在进景美之前我曾在Shrewood Forest, Interlake and Lake Hill 担任过特殊教育助教的代课老师。我希望在这个新岗位上为景美小学尽最大的努力帮助更多的学生。

Hi everyone, my name is Lihua Wu. I graduated from my university in Guangzhou majoring in foreign trade, then retained after graduation as a teacher, my family moved to Bellevue in 2008. I earned a teacher certificate for higher education institution and a national certificate for standardized Mandarin test.

In 2014, I was very honored to join the Jingmei family and become a GSA. From the Bellewood campus to the present Jingmei, I have witnessed and personally experienced the growth of Jingmei elementary. The GSA work experience in the past 7 years has made me realize the fundamental difference between primary and higher education. Primary education emphasizes and pays more attention to children’s learning process and the maximization of learning effects. I cherish the wonderful experience during which I have grown together with my students over these years.

Since December 2021, I accepted a new position at Jingmei elementary and became a teaching assistant in special education. Before joining Jingmei, I worked as a substitute teacher for special education assistants in Shrewood Forest, Interlake, and Lake Hill. I hope to do my best for Jingmei elementary in this new position to help more students.

Ms. Andrea Hanson– Guidance Counselor

My name is Andrea Hanson and this is my third year supporting students at Jing Mei. I grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington and now reside in Burien with my family. I received my Bachelor’s in Social Welfare at University of Washington Tacoma and my Master of Education in School Counseling at City University of Seattle. Before joining Jing Mei, I worked at Children’s Home Society as a family educator, supporting families and students with resources, educational guidance and counseling.

During my school counseling program, I interned at Cascade Middle School in White Center which further shaped my approach to school counseling.

As a school counselor, I use a strength-based approach when working with students. I strive to instill tools that will benefit students with their social-emotional well-being and academic learning. I strive to be anti-racist in the work I do and serve through an equity lens of what is best for each student individually, considering their background, family values, ethnicity, language, culture, and race. I feel very lucky to be a part of the Jing Mei community and look forward to supporting all student’s educational success.

It brings me great joy to be able to serve this community in both English and my mother tongue. I look forward to supporting you should you have any communication concerns for your child.

Ms. Meng Ping Ku- School Nurse

Hello everyone! I am Mengping. I am very happy to join Jing Mei Elementary School as a school nurse.

I am from Taiwan. After graduating from the nursing department of Kaohsiung Medical College (now the predecessor of Kaohsiung University), I came to Lamar University in Texas to study a master’s degree in biology. After completing my degree, I worked as a professional dialysis nurse for about 9 years in Texas and California.

My husband is also from Taiwan, we have a daughter, and she is a junior at Interlake High School. Our family moved from New Jersey State to Washington State about 4 years ago and thought the scenery in Washington State was beautiful.

I usually like to read and travel with my family and friends to the countryside. I am interested in nutrition and health education. As a school nurse, I hope to help every student learn healthily and happily.

大家好！我是孟萍。很高興能加入景美小學擔任學校護理師。

我來自台灣，從高雄醫學院（現高雄大學的前身）護理學系畢業之後，來到德州 Lamar University 研讀生物學碩士學位。完成學位後，我分別在德州和加州擔任約9年的洗腎專業護理師。

我的先生也是來自台灣，我們有一個女兒，這學年就讀Interlake High School 11 年級。我們家4年前從New Jersey 州搬來，覺得華盛頓州風景真是美麗。

我平時喜歡閱讀及和家人朋友到郊外散步旅遊。我對於營養學和健康教育有興趣。做為一位學校護理師，我希望能幫助每位學生健康快樂地學習。

Ms. Chen-Ju Chen 陳貞汝老師 – Art Specialist美术

我在台灣長大。我畢業於東華盛頓州立大學教育系，在那裡我獲得了教育學分(藝術學分幼稚園－12年級）。在我的學生教學實習中，我驚奇地發現我是多麼喜愛教學，幫助學生探索及邁向成功過程竟成了我真實的獎勵。我曾在Spokane教3歲至11歲的學生中文2年。當我在2010年搬到了Bellevue，我在Kindercare任職、職位是副園長。在Kindercare 工作的期間、我將學校學生的學術發展、以及師資的加強、和家長的溝通技巧上都更加提升。在我的教育管理的經歷中，我也在招聘，入職，培訓中找到了激情和力量。

我目前任職在phantom Lake 小學。我擔任的工作是一個特教的助理老師。我非常享受教孩子跳出固定的，刻板的框框來思考。並且按著他們各個的需要來幫助他們進步。我的目的是發覺他們每個人的潛能並且幫助他們成長。我感到非常幸運有這個機會可以把學生一生喜愛學習，對同學的熱情和成功最基礎且強而有力的素質的苗圃開墾出來

我和我的先生在大學的時候認識，我們在一起已經二十一年。我目前沒有孩子也沒有任何的寵物。我是一位喜歡學習新的事情，也不怕嘗試新的任務的人。我的朋友總是說我是一個滿了精力和熱情的人。我的興趣是烹飪，旅遊還有和家人朋友聚會。

I grew up in the Taiwan. I attended Eastern Washington University, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. During my student teaching, I was amazed to find how much I loved it, and how rewarding it felt to be part of my students’ discoveries and successes. I have an endorsement in elementary education, and K-12 Arts from the State of Washington. I taught Chinese in Spokane for 2 years, working with children ages 3 to 11 years old. When I moved to Bellevue in 2010, I was an Assistant Director at KinderCare. I have developed strong teacher/parent-relations with regards to their child’s over all development and growth. Within my broad management experience I have found a passion and strength in recruiting, on-boarding, and training.

Before Jing Mei, I was a Special Ed Para-educator at Phantom Lake Elementary. I enjoy teaching children to think outside of the box, and then helping each of them individually with their progress. My goal is to discover their potential, and then track their growth. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help the students in my class cultivate a lifelong love of learning, a sense of compassion for their peers, and a strong foundation for success.

I met my husband when I was in college, and we have been together for 21 years. We currently have no children or pets. I am the type of person who loves to try things “just for the experience.”   I enjoy, cooking, traveling, and time with friends and family.

Ms. Carrie Lin 林玲秀老師 – Library Specialist  图书馆老师

Raised in Taiwan, I have been teaching Chinese since 2003 while I was studying in Japan as an international student. I find it incredibly fulfilling to introduce children to this language, and to make learning Mandarin as fun as possible. Over the years, I finished a B.A degree in Japanese literature and culture. I also obtained my Teaching Chinese as a Second Language Certificates in Taiwan and my teaching certificates in K12 world language and general elementary education in Washington State. I earned my master’s degree in learning and technology, and continue to pursue ongoing professional development and attend educational conferences to ensure your child is receiving the highest quality education.

During my free time, I enjoy playing piano, listening to music, reading and chatting with friends in a coffee shop. Going to gym to do yoga and Zumba classes are my new hobbies acquired during the summer. I really hope I can find some time to try out stand up paddle boarding. However, the thing I enjoy the most is to spend time with my husband and daughter. This is me, and I can’t wait to know more about you.

I love teaching! My mission as a teacher is to help children discover the joy of learning and to help each child develop confidence in his or her own abilities. I want them to do their best and to have a sense of pride in doing their personal best. I am thrilled to explore all kinds of fun ways to learn and I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your child.

Mr. Rob Lindfors – Music Specialist, Orchestra Teacher

I was born in Sweden and grew up in the capital Stockholm (sometimes called the Venice of the North, due to the many waterways in the city). My mother came from the north of Sweden. My favorite childhood memories are of frequent stays at the family farm she grew up on. My father served in the Swedish Air Force and then flew for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines). Just before I turned ten, we moved to Seattle, my father having taken a job with United Airlines. My father’s father (farfar) lived in Vancouver, B.C., where my father had grown up (in a Swedish household) before returning to Sweden at thirteen with his mother. My farfar published and edited the Swedish Press, distributed throughout North America.

I love teaching music! I began playing guitar in 3^rd grade in Sweden. After moving to the United States, I began taking guitar lessons in 5^th grade (my 2^nd year in the U.S.) while attending Bellewood Elementary in 5^th & 6^th grade (it was fun teaching at Jing Mei my first two years in the same school building I once attended). I started teaching guitar in high school and have continued to give private guitar lessons my entire life. I have often taught young students and have great memories of students who excelled at the instrument. In high school, my favorite classes were music classes. I met my wife Lise (of Norwegian descent), a fellow music student, in college. We both attended Bellevue College, then Western Washington University in Bellingham, where I majored in music performance, and my wife majored in music education. She now works as an elementary school librarian in the Renton School District.

Upon graduating from college, I often performed in jazz bands around town, did some music studio work, taught guitar privately, worked in a record store (Tower Records), and occasionally taught evening music classes at Bellevue College. Later I was hired as a sales rep for a music distribution company, Polygram (later merged with Universal), where I worked for many years. After leaving music sales, I returned to college to be certified to teach music in public schools, obtaining a Master of Arts in Teaching from Seattle Pacific University.

Leaving the field of sales in order to focus on teaching has been most fulfilling. I began teaching in the Bellevue School District in 2001, at first teaching high school guitar, piano, and composing. Later I started teaching elementary orchestra, elementary classroom music (K-4), along with middle school orchestra (6^th grade), and working with these young students has been especially rewarding for me. I am very pleased to have continued at Jing Mei as my home school for many years now. I love seeing the same students year after year, watching them progress musically.

My wife Lise and I greatly enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, and playing music. She plays violin and guitar; I primarily play guitar, piano, and cello. I have a jazz band called Brazz, which performs American jazz standards and Brazilian jazz. We perform in various locations around town, including Crossroads Bellevue.

When I first began school in the United States, in fourth grade, I knew few English words (English was not taught in Swedish schools until fourth grade), so I had to learn it by immersion that school year. I strongly believe in Jing Mei’s dual language program, which provides such a wonderful opportunity for a student to become bilingual.

Last school year (’21-’22), I taught PE at Eastside Christian school in Bellevue. This year, I am teaching PE at Jing Mei on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and Sherwood Forest on Wednesday, and Thursday. I enjoy seeing students playing well, setting up equipment, and cleaning up together. I also enjoy seeing students working hard to reach their goals.

Aloha! My name is Marnie Kazarian Olson and this year I will be back at Jing Mei for a few classes. My time this year will be divided among my role as Health and PE teacher at Jing Mei and Enatai Elementary as well as a Certified Engagement Specialist supporting BIPOC educators in our district. When I’m not running around in my gym, I spend my time hanging out with my husband and my cat as we enjoy long rides on the motorcycle (sans cat!). 

 I look forward to returning to Jing Mei and working alongside Mr. Shin as the Health and PE teachers of Jing Mei Elementary.

I was raised and grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. Teaching has always been my dream job and although education was not my major, I was able to experience it in many different areas of my career. In 1994, I immigrated to the United States with my family, and moved back to Taiwan in 1999. In 2004 I moved back to Seattle again. With my three children joining the local Chinese school, I began to participate in the administrative work of Chinese school administration, and then joined the ranks of teaching. I have also served as the Substitute Education Assistant in the Issaquah and Bellevue School District. With the new school year, I will help teachers to create a safe and inspiring learning environment.

When I have leisure time, I like reading, walking, traveling, spending time with friends, and participating in the church services. As a believer of Christ, I believe it is my goal to benefit and better help the community. I am very excited to be a part of the Jing Mei community!

I am Zoe. I am from mainland China. I got my bachelor’s degree in China and Master degree in UK.
