About Mrs. Thompson
Hello All! I am extremely excited to start my fourth year teaching first grade. I'd like to start out by sharing some things about myself! I got married on September 13th, 2014 to my prince charming, Seth Thompson!
My hometown is “pretty, little” Red Wing, Minnesota. My family is very close. My grandma, who lives next door to my parents' home, has been very involved in my life. Her love for life inspires me!
In May 2011 I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. I spent four wonderful years at UW-RF and one year student teaching. While attending the university I enjoyed spending time with friends, singing in the women's chorus and playing tennis for the Falcon Women's Tennis team.
My favorite things to do outside of school include: listening to music, dancing, singing, playing games, and spending time with friends and family. My nephew Fox Alexander was born in March. I was Fox's nanny 3 days a week this summer. Watching him learn to hold his head, smile, roll over, make noises, giggle... has been THE COOLEST experience of my life. I hold this little boy so close to my heart. I will likely continue the tradition I started last Spring by showing a new picture of him to the class every Friday at show and tell time! :)
I hope to make 1st grade a FUN place to be with my up-beat and energetic personality! :) I am inspired by the wonder and awe of children. Their enthusiasm for life energizes me! I will provide hugs and words of encouragement throughout the year so your 1st grader will feel safe, cared about and important in our classroom! I look forward to encouraging your child to be the best person he/she can be.
