Ms. Dixon
Hello there! I’m Jonicia Dixon, and I am absolutely excited to be joining the Yates Mill family. I will be teaching 4th-grade ELA. Although this is my first year at Yates Mill, I bring with me 17 wonderful years of experience in education. Building strong relationships with my students and their families is at the heart of my teaching. I believe learning should be both meaningful and fun. In my classroom, you’ll find a balance of high expectations, creative engagement, and a whole lot of JOY!
I am originally from Hope Mills, NC and I recently moved to Raleigh for a fresh start and new opportunities. I graduated from Fayetteville State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Professional Studies and East Carolina University with my Master’s degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Teaching Children in Poverty. I will soon begin my doctorate in Educational Leadership at East Carolina University. Go Pirates!!
When I'm not in the classroom, I am typically playing my acoustic guitar and singing. I am the worship leader at my church, and I love coffee and sneakers! I really enjoy spending time with my family, making lasting memories, traveling, and curling up on the couch watching a good movie with my Schnoodle, Benji. Sports? Oh yes!! I am an avid football lover! #GoSteelers
I can’t wait to get to know you and your child this year. Here’s to an amazing journey in 4th grade!
