About Mrs. McHone

Thank you for visiting our class website!  Let me tell you a little about myself.  My name is Jennifer McHone.  I am a graduate of University of Houston-Clear Lake.  This will be my 10th year in education.  I am GT and ESL certified.  I started my teaching journey in Deer Park ISD, where I taught 2 years, before I made Tomball my new home.  I then taught 7 years at Decker Prairie Elementary.  After taking a short leave after my second child was born, I am now happy to return back to Tomball ISD as a Wildwood Wildcat!
 
I have a wonderful husband, whom I have been married to for 12 years.  We have 2 beautiful children.  My son will be a 1st grader at Wildwood and my sweet little girl is 3.  We live in the Tomball area and are so proud to be a part of this wonderful community!  I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year!  Making sure that your child has a fun and successful year is my number one priority!

Spelling

Parents: 
Due to the fact that we were only in school for two days this past week, we did not have a Spelling test on Friday. We will push all Spelling units back one week. (please correct in red take home folder)
We will study short o words with blends/digraphs all next week and have our test as usual on Friday.

Holiday Party!

Please join us for our classroom holiday party on December 22nd! (We want to remind you that we will not be able to distribute any party favors or goodie bags sent by individual parents for the class.)
