Welcome all.

Hello. My name is Mrs. Thomas and I am super excited to be your child's teacher this fall. In 3rd grade this year, we will be having a lot of fun learning with technology. The next few months will be busy as we explore and grow together. I am ready to learn all about your children and their diverse learning styles, but first I will tell you a little about myself. This is my fourth year teaching this grade at Crystal Cove Elementary. I went to school in Broward County my whole life-- Hallandale Elementary, Gulfstream Middle, Broward College for my undergrad, and Florida Atlantic for my Bachelor's and Master's in Elementary Education. My educational philosophy is to focus on why I teach, what I teach, how I teach, and how I measure my effectiveness. My teaching style is the hybrid, or blended style. This style has an integrated approach that blends my personality and interests with the students' curriculum appropriate methods and individual needs.

This is an exciting time to be in Mrs. Thomas' class!
