My name is Corry ann Thompson. I have worked for LISD at Highland Village Elementary since 2004. I graduated from TX Woman's University with an Bachelors degree in Science. I hold a teaching certificate for grades 1-8, including a specialization in mathematics. I have been teaching primarily science, but usually in conjunction with either social studies or mathematics. My family consists of my husband, two daughters, and three cats. Both daughters have attended Marcus, while my oldest is now pursuing NURSING at TWU this fall.
I believe that each student has a voice and wants to feel inspired in what he/she is doing. I am invested in bringing authentic experiences to students and in providing real-experiences that students can relate to for genuine learning opportunities. I provide structured learning in a flexible learning environment.
Each student learns in different ways and styles, so it is my goal to reach each student's needs in these ways.
My name is Shaila Hackler. I am a native Texan and product of LISD, Marcus class of '92.Go Marauders!!! I have been married to my husband for 18 years and have two amazing boys. My oldest, Clayton, is a funny kids who loves to "school" me with his amazing vocabulary. Alston is my artistic and scientific kid. He loves animals and bugs of any kind.
In my free time I love to read, watch TV, read, go to the movies, read, play with my kids, pend time as a family, and READ!
Teaching is my passion! I believe it is my true calling in life to influence children to be the best they can be. After all, one day these kids will be in charge of our world.
I have taught 4th and 5th grade as well as MTA. I look forward to working with parents, students, staff, and administrators this year. It's going to be a great school year!! Vikings ROCK!
My name is Kelly Thomason. I am originally from Syracuse, NY ~ woohoo ~ GO ORANGEMEN!! I have lived in TX for 24 years, and have been married to a Native Texan for 22 years. I have a son in college, and a daughter who is a junior this year at MHS. Oh, let me not forget to mention that I also live with a fearless golden retriever and ornery kitty cat, as well! When I am not teaching your child, I enjoy working out, reading, and spending time with my crazy NY family. This is my 14th year at HVE, but my 18th year as an educator. I have previously taught 3rd - 5th grades.
I will be your child's Math teacher this year! I am looking forward to being a part of your child's life, and if you ever have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Communication is so important to promoting a good relationship between us!
One thing that I really want your child to know is that it is ok to take risks and to feel comfortable in my classroom with trying new things ~ that making mistakes is sometimes the best way to learn. :)
I am looking forward to an awesome year with your child!!
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
