Patricia Thoma
I am entering my 24th year as an educator.
I began my career as an educator in the Richfield School District in 1987. At that time I was a substitute teacher. In 1993, I was assigned to the fourth grade classroom. I taught 4th grade for three years. In 1997, I became the middle school English teacher. Currently, I teach both literature and English for 6th , 7th and 8th grade, Public Communications for the 6th graders, and co-teach the 7th grade Page to Stage class.
I enjoy working with my students outside the classroom as well. Throughout the years, I have coached: basketball, (15 years), volleyball, (9 years), Forensics, Student Council, (6 years) and Card Club. I stay in touch with past Richfield graduates. We meet after school, or even have dinner together. I also attend their sporting events during the summer, plus their high school and college graduations, weddings, children's birthdays, etc. In fact, I am currently teaching some of my former student's children. I am that old!
I have my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a minor in Psychology. Since my Master's degree, I have earned more than 36 credits in the areas of Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Readers and Writers Workshop.
