Kindergarten/1st Grade Combo: Codion Isom Link to this section
Hello Bayview-Hunters Point community! I go by Mr. C and I’ve had the pleasure of teaching in SFUSD and here at Malcolm X for several years now. I choose Malcolm X everyday because of the students, they remind me of my friends and I growing up in a small town and neighborhood elementary school back home in Benton Harbor, Michigan. I enjoy teaching kindergarten because I feel as though it resonates with what I feel like has helped me get so far in life, which is strong foundations I work hard to teach my students love, compassion and a discipline for learning in hopes that it carry’s into throughout their school years. My door is always open down in room 101. So if you ever stop by, don’t forget to say Hi!
