My name is Tina McAlister and I am your childs 3rd grade math teacher here at Emily C. Watkins.   This will be my 15th year teaching in St. John Parish.  Four of those years have been here at ECW.  I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in Elementary Education 1-8. You could say that education is in my blood.  My mother and both sisters were teachers.  My family consists of two children, two step children, 5 grandchildren, and 7 step grandchildren.
