Welcome to The Jacksonville Schoolroom
Our Story
Hi. My name is Teresa Walker. My husband and I grew up here in East Texas. We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary. I taught first grade in Whitehouse ISD for 8 years. Since leaving the public school system, I have taught various enrichment classes in homeschool co-ops. Currently, I homeschool my two children. My daughter is eight years old and loves reading, piano, and dance. My son just turned thirteen and loves astronomy, dogs, and video games. Both kids love to help others and work as lab assistants in The Schoolroom.
Hands On Science
I have always been fond of teaching science. There's nothing like watching children's eyes light up when they make a discovery. Classes are multilevel - ages 5 through 13 will delight in the hands-on learning. High quality children's literature is incorporated in the labs. All children will go home with a take-home packet that will include literature links, further information, and related websites for further investigations. Students who complete optional homework will get a chance to visit the schoolroom treasure chest.
Our Beliefs
In our schoolroom, we are dedicated to nurturing young minds with excellence in education. I believe science is a way of knowing and exploring God's creation. Science encourages students to use their senses to observe and understand God's world.
The Jacksonville Schoolroom
Our schoolroom is ready for your kiddos. Our classes are an hour and a half. Parents may stay and wait in the adjoining waiting room. This would be a great time to fellowship with other parents or enjoy the hour and half break to run errands or get a frappe at the nearby Scooters. Please provide contact information before leaving.
Thus says the Lord,
who gives the sun for light by day
and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
the Lord of hosts is His name:
Jeremiah 31:35
And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together
Colossians 1:17
