Mrs. Tanalski

First Grade Teacher

Hello and welcome! My name is Mrs. Jill Tanalski. I have worked at Huron Academy for over 16 years.  I have taught Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten and worked as a Title I teacher with K-fifth graders.  This year I’m very excited to join our First Grade team and teach first grade.

I love being a part of Huron’s vibrant learning community. Before joining the Huron Academy team, I attended the University of Michigan receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.

My classroom will be an engaging, supportive learning environment where my students can feel safe and not only gain knowledge, but develop a life-long love of learning.   Through teacher and student-led structured activities; students will gain knowledge, confidence and independence in learning. Support from home and parent/teacher communication is essential; feel free to contact me any time with questions or concerns.

About myself:   I live in the country with my husband of 40+ years.  I raised five children here and shared my love the out-of-doors; gardening, camping, hiking are some favorites.  I love spending time with my family and reading a good book.  I have two grandchildren; one on the way.
