Hello, my name is Mrs. Sonya Tubman Jackson. I’m a wife, mother, and a teacher. I love teaching, creating resources for my students and sharing what I have learned along the way. I graduated with honors from the College of Charleston (SC) with a Bachelor of Science dual degree in Biology and Social Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I continued my education at Northern Arizona University and completed three programs of study. I received post-degree certification in Elementary Education (PK-8) & Bilingual Multicultural Education (BME) and two Masters degrees --Master of Education in Elementary Education and Master of Education in Counseling. I furthered my educational endeavors at Nova Southeastern University and received an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) in Curriculum / Instruction Management & Administration. I am currently working on my Ed.D. in Educational Psychology.  I am the proud mother of five.  My children are in Second Grade, Fourth Grade, Eighth Grade (twins), and Tenth Grade.  As a Navy wife, I’ve had the opportunity to teach in Arizona, California, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. I am excited now to teach in my hometown!! In Georgia, I am certified to teach ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies in grades PK through 8.

I currently teach second grade, but I have also taught Kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grades within the past twenty-three years.  People sometimes ask me which grade level is my favorite, and, well . . . each one has it’s pluses and minuses, it’s quirks, and it’s “A-Ha” moments.  Although, it is difficult for me to choose – because every year the grade level that I am currently teaching truly has a special place in my heart!! However, I must admit-- the grade that I am currently teaching always comes out on top for me ♥ -- With that being said I feel blessed to be an educator and I love each moment I’m given an opportunity to teach!! 

I look forward to teaching your child in all all academic areas and SEL this school year.  Scaffolding the learning within these areas and then watching how students make “sense” of it all is AMAZING!  I love being able to take them from point A to point B and see their growth along the way.  I “move” my students and I love watching their growth.  Right now, if you popped into my classroom, you’d see students engaged all different kinds of things.  I’m a firm believer in differentiating instruction and giving students what they need to succeed.  That doesn’t mean everyone does the same thing at the same time.  Quite the opposite!  I do small groups for almost everything and students are hard at work on their own learning goals. I LOVE TO LEARN and my daily goal is to foster a love of learning in each of my students!! Thank you very much for entrusting me to fulfill your child’s educational needs! I look forward to working with your family—together we make the perfect team!!
