Although I just came back from maternity leave on Wednesday, I can tell how well you've adjusted to this new way of learning as we're adjusting to this new way of teaching. Keep up the good work and never hesitate to reach out if you need help, or just need to chat.  Take this time to make some great memories with your families (away from your devices) and go outside and enjoy the sunshine!  I hope to see you all soon!

Dear students, if you know anything about me, you know I love teaching.  And how much I miss all of you reminds me why.  I miss the notes on the board, my little cats that you draw me, my butterflies that you make me, the tik toks you teach me, spinning the wheel, videos of the week, the jokes you make, cleaning u after you at lunch (okay maybe not that), but I can go on and on.  As much as you miss your friends and teachers, you should know we miss you too.  Your smiles and presence  make THOMPSON what it is.

¡Buenos días! (or buenas tardes).  I can't believe we're wrapping up our third week of Virtual Home Instruction.  You've done a great job submitting your work, using classroom to ask questions and meeting up with me.  It shows how dedicated you are to your school work.  Keep it up!   I'm looking forward to seeing you all again and catching up.  I miss hearing your stories and I'm sure you miss hearing mine, right?  Sending you all virtual jolly ranchers. Have a great Spring Break!  Go enjoy the sun!

# data[].attributes.body
Happy Friday and congratulations on completing your 3rd week of VHI. I am blown away with how well you have all adjusted and adapted to your new normal. What is being asked of you is not easy, especially at your age, and as your teacher I could not be more proud of how well you have risen to the occasion. In times where things seem uncertain and a bit scary remember to focus on the good and positive things around you- there is always something to be thankful for! These times won't last forever and there will be brighter days ahead, looking forward to the day where we are together again back in the classroom, until then be well! Miss you all!

Hi everyone! I miss you all!  I have been so impressed by the amazing work you have been completing online, but hope to share books in person again soon. My kittens have been leaving toys by my room each morning - including Lego -  but it is definitely not the same! :) I miss the busy media center mornings. Have a good spring break and be well!

Nothing is impossible. The word itself says "I'm possible"
Keep working hard and remember we are all here for you!

It has been wonderful having the opportunity to see your faces virtually, but I really wish it was in person.  We will get through this though; and that will make being back together even more special.  I have been so impressed with how you have grabbed a hold of your learning virtually. YOU have truly left me amazed.  Have a wonderful break away from your chromebooks.  Play board games, go for a hike, watch movies and make sure to enjoy time with your family!!
Social distancing is hard, but we can do this!!

# data[].attributes.body
I hope you all  are doing well and are safe during this time.  We have the most amazing student body and I am seeing the greatness you all demonstrate over the past 3 weeks.  My Math classes have stepped up to the adversity they have faced which is a sample of our overall Thompson community.  Continue to work hard and hopefully we all can soon put this behind us and return what used to be so simple.  I am deeply missing my Second HOME.  I love the interaction that a school creates for both Teachers and Students.  Enjoy and don't take the simple things in life for granted.  See you all sooner than later.

It's been 3 weeks now of VHI and I am thrilled to see that you are checking in to classroom every day and completing assignments. I miss you all and the "social" part of social studies.

You are all amazing and I miss you. It has been great talking to you when we chat. You have been patient and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work. Talk soon. Go outside when it's beautiful.

You are all doing an excellent job of staying on top of your work! While we can't go on our 6th grade trip tomorrow, we are trying to have as much fun as possible at our toga party to celebrate (and criticize Rome!). Let's see those togas on the flipgrid!

# data[].attributes.body
I can't say enough about how wonderful our students at Thompson are. Through such a tough time everyone is doing so well and working so hard. I hope you are all getting outside to enjoy a nice sunny day, reading a book of your choice or binge watching a show that you love! I miss being at work and seeing your faces! Enjoy a much deserved spring break!

# data[].attributes.body
It has been positively inspiring to see how successfully you've dealt with our transition to virtual home instruction. I'm grateful to work in a  community where kids have positive attitudes towards learning and persevere through challenges and adversity. I am confident that you are going to develop skills during this difficult time that will benefit you in the years ahead at school and beyond. Remember, if you want to be good at something you need to practice even when you don't feel like it. Skills require action and dedication. That is true whether you want to be a great artist, athlete, musician or anything else including becoming an excellent student.  Keep a song in your heart and a sense of humor. We'll see you soon.

Hello everyone! I am so amazed at all of the great work I am seeing coming back to us. I am so happy when I get a google request from one of you asking such great questions to help me clarify my directions! We are all learning here! You are making history- and I am so proud to be a part of it with YOU and your parents! (Who by the way are the best group of parents to co teach with in the whole world!) Please - we need to Remember THEM too on TEACHER appreciation day! Give your parents a big hug from me! Please take this break and enjoy the outdoors- stay in touch with friends remotely! We are all in this together! 🌺🌷🌼

I just want to say I'm not only proud of the students in this rough time, but also the entire Thompson MS community!

I can't tell you all enough how much I miss seeing you every morning. No matter what happens, we are all here for you, and I can see how supportive you are to each other. I am so lucky to teach in such a nice community of students, and being out of the building has made me realize that even more. I am happy that we are able to connect using technology, and we have all done a fantastic job using these tools. I hope we will be able to get back to school soon. In the meantime, enjoy the time with your families, catch up on some reading and your favorite TV shows, and take a walk outside if you can. Stay safe and see you soon! ❤

Stay well and spend time doing things at home you don't normally get a chance to do.

I REALLY miss all of you and I will never ever complain again about waking up and getting ready to come to work at 5:45 am! The part of teaching that I miss most is being with all of you--teaching online is not the same as laughing and talking to you in class, saying hi in the hallway, and making a happy art mess together in my room! You have all been working very hard and your dedication is inspiring. Have a chill break, be well and stay positive--I am very much looking forward to seeing you all soon!

I am so incredibly proud of how well you are all handling VHI and how positive and engaged you all have been.  I miss seeing your faces everyday, and talking through the computer is just not the same.  You all are doing an incredible job, and deserve to enjoy Spring Break next week.  Even though it is not the Spring Break we dreamed of, make the best of it, and try to give yourself some time away from technology! Get yourselves outside on nice days and relax!  Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any issues at arise.  We are all in this together.  I am lucky to be able to call you my students!

Through all of this, I am so proud of the hard work you are putting in to learn from home. I am impressed with your motivation and dedication. Keep up the great work! I hope to hear from all of you and see you again real soon. Keep reaching out! Send an email, chat on google hangout, or reply to my messages on classroom.

Please contact me if you need anything - keep me updated with positive news too!

Thank you for all the hard work these three weeks. And thank you for being patient with your teachers as we learn all these new things, too!
