My name is Bonnie Thiel. I graduated from Tulane University in 2003 with a
B.A. in Sociology. I went on to the University of New Orleans, where I
received my Teaching Certificate in Early Childhood Education.
I have a four year old son, Alexander, whose youthful exuberance keeps me on my toes! This is my
6th
year teaching. I have taught Preschool, 3rd grade, & this is my 2nd year teaching 2nd grade. I love
being a part of Madisonville Elementary & am looking forward to a wonderful year getting to know
the
students.
Outside of school, I enjoy reading, swimming, jogging, or doing any type of singing & dancing.
In the 5th grade I decided to become a teacher. It was because of my teacher. She made me feel
special & "smart". I always enjoyed the facial expressions of someone whom learned something new
or when it"clicked". This is still my favorite part of teaching. My goal for your son or daughter is
teaching them to become a logical and critical thinker. Then they can solve any type of problem. We
learn thinking strategies through many different activities: whole group, cooperative groups, or
individual assignments: stations; and technology, including the Promethean Board. By the end of the
year you will be surprised by your child's accomplishments. Each year I look forward to a fun filled
year of exploring and learning with my new students. Please feel free to contact me by a written
note, an e-mail, or a phone call to the office if I can help you in any way.
