About The Teacher

My name is Laura Thomson and I am currently the 6th grade Language Arts 
teacher on Team 601. I have been teaching Language Arts at CMS for the past 
5 years in both sixth and eighth grade. This is my fourth year with Team 601.

A little about me... I am originally from Red Wing, Minnesota and still 
visit there frequently. I went to college at the University of Wisconsin and 
I am currently in graduate school at Concordia University - Saint Paul to 
obtain my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, as well as my K-12 
Reading License. I graduate in December! I am a huge sports fan: the Twins, 
Vikings, Minnesota Wild and I especially enjoy anything Badgers related!

Mission For The Class

   My goal is to create lifelong readers, as well as writers who know how to 
write with a purpose and clarity of expression. I also hope that my students 
will be able to verbally communicate their ideas in a clear and concise 
manner, as well as to learn how to build their listening skills for continual 
understanding throughout their lives. I look forward to doing this in a fun 
and nurturing environment!
