Welcome to Mrs. Thompson's Toucans First Grade Class!

One Can, Toucan, We All Can! 

Hello parents and new first graders! I hope you have had a wonderful summer and are ready "to soar" through 1st grade together! I would like to tell you a little about myself. I graduated from Abilene Christian University. 

After graduating I taught in Keller ISD for nine years-2nd grade for 6 years and Kindergarten for 3 years. We moved to Allen in 2009, and I taught Pre-K for 7 years. Four years ago I came back to teach full time in Allen. 

Since being back I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd grade and 1st grade. I LOVE teaching first grade because the kids grow so much throughout the year, and I love watching their progress! I also know what they learned in 

Kindergarten and what they need to know for 2nd grade. I LOVE teaching at Olson-my children have gone here since we moved to Allen so this is home for me. I have been married 21 years to my husband Cody. We

have three children: Jace is 15 and is going to be a 10th grader at Allen High School, Kyla is 12 and will be in 7th grade at Olson, and Kinsley is 9 and will be in 4th grade at Olson. We also have a dog named Remington and a hamster

named Cinnamon. I like to read, watch movies, spend time with my family, play games, spend time outdoors, watch my kids play sports, and travel. I can't wait to learn about you! We are going to have a great year!
