Meet Mrs. Thompson

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!

Reading Mission

The mission for this class is to get students excited about reading and turn 
them into lifelong readers!
