Hello, my name is Cari Thompson and I have been teaching middle level science for 13 years. I was raised in Washington state but have lived in South Carolina for 27 years. I have four children; Hannah, Jacob, Emma, and Heidi and a yellow lab furbaby named Gronk. Being a mother and a teacher is what brings me the most joy in my life.
I graduated from BYU, in Provo Utah, with a BS in conservation biology. I received my M.Ed. in Instructional Technology from Coastal Carolina University. In my free time I enjoy traveling, going to the beach, reading, watching football, spending time with my family, and hiking.
Within the classroom, my goal is to make science relevant by connecting student learning to real world events.
