Name: Mrs. Carol Thompson
Grade/Subject: 5th grade teacher at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School - Park Ridge, IL
Introduction: I have been teaching for many years (starting my 18th year, here at Franklin), and I am excited to teach 5th grade again this year.
Franklin is a great place to be and I look forward to a fresh, new year. I grew up in Park Ridge, but moved to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin before high school. I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, traveling, boating and hanging out in my favorite place, Geneva Lake! In the summer I spend my time working as an event planner for the Water Safety Patrol on Geneva Lake. I attended Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for my undergraduate degree. I received my Master's Degree as a Reading Specialist
from National-Louis University.
