ABOUT NICOLE THOMSON

WIFE . MOM . TEACHER . AUTHOR . ENTREPRENEUR
I’m Nicole, an educator, author, and entrepreneur. I currently work as a college professor, but previous to that, I spent over a decade as an elementary teacher where I participated in action research projects in math and literacy and presented at International conferences, such as IMBES and ILA. I have also provided professional development sessions to teachers in areas of Social-Emotional Learning, Balanced Literacy, Math, and Classroom Management.
A few years ago, I relocated with my family, and therefore had to leave the classroom as I knew it. The pause from the busy classroom was a welcomed change, but that period of transition was also one of the most challenging periods of my life. During that time I began practicing gratitude; I believe it is what got me through that difficult period stronger and more inspired than ever. I was setting goals for myself and quickly checking things off my bucket list: get my Masters, become a college professor, write a book, run a half marathon, start a business, and work on being the best wife, mom, educator, and person I can be.
While I was reading "The Magic" by Rhonda Byrne, I was drawn to this excerpt: “If gratitude became a mandatory subject in schools, we would see a generation of children who would advance our civilization through spectacular accomplishments and discoveries, obliterating disagreements, ending wars, and bringing peace to the world.”
I wholeheartedly believe this as well. I have seen what a gratitude practice has done in my life and recognize the plethora of science and research backing this simple, yet essential, factor to a fulfilled life. Why aren't we teaching this in schools? And to our children, in general?
I created The Fulfilled Classroom Inc. to teach children the importance of appreciating the little things in life (I even wrote a children's book about this - check out the "books" section of the website!) and I have enthusiastically switched my focus from training teachers and students on balanced literacy, spatial reasoning and classroom management, to living with gratitude, mindfulness, and finding fulfillment both in and out of the classroom.
