Michelle Thomson is a first grade teacher at John R. Bonfield Elementary School. She started out as a classroom assistant in first grade, and also served as a Title 1 Reading Tutor prior to becoming a first grade teacher in 2002.
Mrs. Thomson piloted the very first Smartboard at the elementary level through a grant from the Warwick Education Foundation, and received a PA Keystone Technology Award twice in her career. In addition to her two master's degrees, she has a PA STEM Endorsement, and has done additional graduate work in behavior strategies and student engagement.
Teaching first grade is her passion because the skills that first graders develop are ones that will be used for the rest of their lives. She is always amazed by the growth that occurs in this important year, and feels privileged to be a part of it!
Mrs. Thomson's two grown children both went to JRB, graduated from Warwick, and are now thriving in Seattle and Germany. Her favorite activities include gardening, fiber arts, reading, walking, and watching science fiction.
