about mrs. chohonMy name is Mrs. Tammy Chohon. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood at University of Nebraska at Kearney and received my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Doane College. I started teaching at 1-R school in 1999 and have been in the same classroom ever since! I'm married to Chris Chohon, who works as a heating and air maintenance supervisor for the Grand Island Public School district and this year we celebrated our 24th anniversary together. Together we have two grown up children and a doggy. Our son, Mitchell, is the oldest. He graduated from Doane College in the winter of 2015 with his degree in computer science and is currently a general manager for Taco Bell in Lincoln, Ne. Our daughter, Melanie, is the youngest. She is currently studying music education at Nebraska Wesleyan University and will graduate in the spring of 2018 after student teaching. Our dog's name is Moxie and she is a 9 year old half Black Lab half Border Collie. She is very spunky and has her own attitude. When I'm not at school, I enjoy watching Husker football with my husband and 4 wheeling with my family.

All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
- by Robert Fulghum
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.
Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK . Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
