All About Me

My name is Natalie Thompson and I'll be your 2nd grade teacher (or your child's, for those families who are curious about me). I began my teaching career in 2002, after receiving my Master's Degree in Inclusive Elementary Education from Syracuse University. Prior to teaching, I enjoyed a career as a magazine editor and freelance writer in New York City, having graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Magazine Journalism and Political Science, also from SU.

I taught 4th grade at Reynolds from 2006 until 2019. I joined the 2nd grade team in the fall of 2019. Prior to teaching in Baldwinsville, I taught grades 2-4 outside of NYC! If you really want to get to know me, these are a few of my favorite things...
  • Food: Pizza
  • Sport/Team: Football, the Packers & I have a family loaded with UNC Tarheel basketball fans!!
  • Hobby: Reading, cooking and most recently gardening!
  • Books to Share with You: Knuffle Bunny (series), Ida B and Fish in a Tree
If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you this year.
