About Me...Hi! I’m Susie Thornhill and I am thrilled to be your child’s fourth-grade teacher.

I have always had a passion for reading and went back to school when my youngest was in preschool. I received a Master’s Degree in Education with a specialization in advanced literacy. Upon graduation, I received a scholarship from the Austin Area Branch of the International Dyslexia Association to take Basic Language Skills, which is specific training for students with dyslexia. This is my twelfth year teaching at FTE and my eighth year teaching fourth grade.

I am fortunate to have a very supportive husband, as well as three wonderful sons, and a new daughter-in-law! Curry (28) graduated from U.T. in Austin and married Maddie. They live and work in North Carolina with their two English Labs, Nellie and Louise. Gabriel (20) is a WHS graduate and finished his freshman year at the University of Arkansas. He will enter the Marines this fall as part of their reserve program. Travis(18), my youngest, will be a freshman at the University of Arkansas. Willow is our family pet and my wingman for most walks.

Fourth grade is a wonderful time in a child’s academic journey. I am thrilled to share this experience with your children as they travel further into their formal educational experience.
