HI! Welcome to Mrs. Thompson's 5th grade webpage. This year I am teaching
Reading in the Fifth Grade Foursome and a math class. I have been teaching
for many years in Michigan, Alabama, and Virginia. This is my 11th year at
Gull Lake. I have taught Special Education, 6th grade, 5th grade and been a
school librarian. I am very excited about the Fifth Grade Foursome this
year!
I have two grown sons. My oldest son, Jonathan, live near me in Kalamazoo
and is married. My youngest son, Zach, graduated in May from Michigan State
and is doing is Teaching Internship in English at Grand Ledge High School
this year.
I have lots of other interests besides teaching and my children. I
currently sing in my church choir and I love all kinds of music and play
flute too! I love to read! I also love to garden - "play in the dirt" - and
try to grow tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries. When I have time I like
to "read" cookbooks and try out new recipes. I also like to walk and try to
walk 4 miles almost everyday.
My favorite quote is "I read...therefore, I am." So, lets get reading and
have some fun in fifth grade!
The mission for this class is to get students excited about reading and turn
them into lifelong readers!
