ABOUT ME 

My name is Tora Henson, and I am very excited to be your child’s fourth-grade teacher this year.  This is my 12th year teaching 4th grade. I have a BA in Elementary Education from North Greenville University and a Masters +30 from Anderson University in curriculum and instruction.  I live in Travelers Rest.   I live with my husband Kevin, my daughter Lydia, and my sons Nathan and Noah.  In my free time, I love to play with my dogs (Mae & Bell), go to the lake, and spend time with my friends and family.  I look forward to getting to know you and your sweet children.

These were my top five strengths:

Connectedness - I have faith in the links between all things. I believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.

Individualization - I am intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. I have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively. 

Achiever- I work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. I take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive.

Empathy - I sense the feelings of other people by imagining me in others’ lives or others’ situations.

Context - I enjoy thinking about the past. I understand the present by researching its history.
