All About Mrs. Thompson

Dear Cactus Ranch Family,

Whether you are new to Cactus Ranch, or have been here for a few years, 
welcome! I hope your summer has been a pleasant one and that everyone is 
ready for a wonderful year of working and learning together.  I am excited to 
be back for my fourth year at Cactus Ranch and am delighted to be your 
child's first grade teacher.  Cactus Ranch is such a wonderful place to work 
and learn, and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend my days with such a 
friendly staff and such amazing families!

My name is Krista Thompson; I was born in Houston and moved to Round Rock 
when I was in 5th grade and I am a product of the Round Rock School District. 
I then continued on to Texas State University in San Marcos to pursue my 
teaching degree. I graduated December 2007 with honors, receiving a bachelor 
of science in Elementary Education. I am currently certified to teach early 
childhood education through 8th grade. I am very excited for what the year 
has in store for us!

I am married to a wonderful PE teacher at Fern Bluff Elementary! We 
have two beautiful puppies named Lilly and Bella and they are our pride and 
joy.We love playing fetch with them and going for long walks or runs down 
the trails by our house. We are expecting our first child, a little boy, on 
October 17th and we could not be more excited! 

It is very important to me that your child has a positive and enjoyable 
learning experience in first grade. It is my goal to create a classroom 
community in which every student can succeed and excel.  I value your 
opinions as a parent, and understand that it is important for us to 
communicate and work together to support your child’s growth and learning. I 
have had such wonderful experiences working with Cactus Ranch families, and I 
know this year will be the same.  I am truly looking forward to building a 
relationship with you and your child.  
 
We are going to have a great year in first grade!
