Jackie Allen To All Instructors

Jackie Allen began homeschooling her two kiddos nine years ago just following a move from her home state of Texas. While all history is engaging to this book worm, Texas History is her favorite. Educated at a small, liberal-arts school in Ft. Worth, she began her studies as a music ed. major specializing in piano, singing with her college choir, and minoring in history. Following her first year in school, she switched to history and minored in music instead. During her first teaching gig out of college as a middle-school choral director, Jackie started working toward a M.A.Th. at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Unsure if she was to be a foreign missionary, a church worship leader, a Biblical archaeologist, a Christian counselor, or all four, she threw up her hands and got married instead. ?? After a decade teaching choral music and history in public schools, both in Texas and Virginia (and teaching piano lessons here and there), she and her husband, Jason, are endeavoring to use their former classroom-teaching experience to enhance their children's home educations. Jackie enjoys making music (piano, guitar, and vocals), gardening, reading, writing, hiking, camping, and caring for a very friendly cat, a friendly kitten that loves water (???), and a silly little brood of quail. Jackie taught elementary science at Home-School-Hub in Leesburg for four years and taught co-op science and music appreciation/humanities at SAIL in Winchester last year. She is thrilled to teach her two favorite subjects this year at Plumbline!
