Hi!  My name is Ms. A. Thomas. (I included the A so you don't get me confused with the two other Ms. Thomas' on campus!)  
When I first moved to Florida, from Iowa, in the summer of 2004, I moved to Punta Gorda.  Four weeks later, my apartment was completely destroyed in Hurricane Charley, so I was forced to move to the closest town with apartments left--Sarasota.  Boy am I thankful--I can't imagine living anywhere else now!
This is  my fifth year at Wilkinson, and my sixth year teaching 5th grade.  I love fifth grade, partly because of all the great things we get to do and learn (from the scientific method to American history, we'll definitely keep busy this year) but mostly because I love 5th graders!   

I am an avid technology user, both in and out of school.  I have a masters degree from National-Luis University in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialty in Technology.  I have been known to make an excel spreadsheet in my spare time...
