Mr. Thompson's Online Learning Portal

Welcome Students & Parents!

I am sorry that we can not learn together right now, but I am hoping that this finds you well and safe! Below please find an assortment of websites, organized by subject that should be both supportive for your continued academic learning during this time, but still fun! There will also be links for the parents to use as reference when assisting you guys at home! Look to my "references" pages for specific references we are used to using in the classroom! Check out my "videos" page for extra educational videos you can use to learn about a new topic over this break.

Parents, feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns you may have. I hope to see you all soon, until then, take care.
