Hello and welcome to 4th grade!

My name is Ms. Xiong and I am the 4th grade teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. This will be my first official year of teaching and I am so excited. I was born and raised on the east side of Saint Paul, and am a proud SPPS graduate from Johnson Senior High School. I graduated with my bachelor of science in elementary education in May of 2018 at St. Catherine University.

I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. I'm the youngest in my family, and I'm a proud aunt of 19 amazing kids. I do not have any children, but I consider my little dog, Benji, as my one and only son. On my free time I like to hang out with friends and family, enjoy nature, sing and listen to music, sleep, and so many other things.

Prior to becoming a teacher at Jackson Elementary, I worked with elementary students through the YMCA School Age Care program as a program staff. When I knew I wanted to teach in SPPS some day, I started with Discovery Club (at Saint Anthony Park Elementary). Then I became a substitute teacher for SPPS, where I was a long-term sub at Jackson Elementary. This will be my 5th year working with school age students.
