Getting to Know Mr. Smith |
|
Jason Smith is a dedicated aide in Ms. Hsu’s third-grade classroom. This is his first year at Murch. Before he worked here, he was a substitute teacher at Maya Angelou Public Charter School on East Capitol Street.
Mr. Smith became a teacher because he really loves helping kids. His favorite part about being a teacher is seeing kids learn things for the first time.
Mr. Smith is 31 years old. He was born and raised here in Washington, DC. He went to school at Brightwood Elementary and studied history at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
When he was 14 years old, he went on vacation with his grandfather to Paris. He got to go sightseeing and he loved the food. It is his favorite place to visit.
Mr. Smith really enjoys sports. He swims, plays flag football, basketball, and baseball, and he likes extreme sports such as sky diving, scuba diving, and rock climbing. He also coaches football and track at Arch Bishop Carroll High School on North Capitol Street. Mr. Smith is [very] strong: He can lift up to 500 pounds. That’s like lifting five to eight Murch students at once!
