August Teacher of the Month - Ms. Tommie Jean

This month, we are turning the spotlight on Ms. Tommie Jean, our August teacher of the month! She's been a wonderful member of our teaching staff and brings so much joy and knowledge to our center.



How long have you been teaching at Huntington?
Two years

What are your favorite subjects?
I can't pick - I enjoy all subjects!

What drew you to teaching here at Huntington?
I was looking for something meaningful to do - to get me out of the house - when my granddaughter Kyli started pre-K.

How is teaching at Huntington different from teaching in the classroom?
I used to have my classroom set up before school started with a large variety of activities to cover a large range of abilities/disabilities. Actually, it's not too different from Huntington. Though I was more focused on specific strengths and weaknesses.

What you are not teaching, what do you enjoy doing? 
I enjoy doing crafts, spending time with friends, traveling, and spending time with my grand kids. 

Last, tell us three random facts about you!
1. I've lived in Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas.
2. I love to sail!
3. I have a MOST mixed up family!

Thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself with us Ms. Tommie Jean! And most importantly, thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and ally for our students.
