The Teachers

Mr. Thao

Hello and welcome to Sandburg and the Kinder Classrooms! My name is Mr. Thao and this will be my eighth year teaching at Sandburg.  I grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin and came down here for school and of course, all the cool activities in Madison have kept me and my wife here! We have four children: Delvin (Sherman), Dean (second grade here at Sandburg), Lauren (4K here at Sandburg as well), and our baby of the family, Evie, who just turned 2 this past summer. 

When I am not working, my family and I are usually somewhere doing the outdoor activities; camping, hiking, biking, fishing, and pretty much travelling.  Where?  We have been to many of the state parks and national parks—some of our favorites include Peninsula, Mirror, and Devils Lake.  Nationally, we love the West; especially the Southwest.

I am really excited to start another year at Sandburg and meet a new group of Kinders. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Everyone!  Mrs. Louison here from the Red Alligator classroom :)  This is my third year teaching kindergarten at Sandburg and before that I spent some time teaching kindergarten at Schenk and Shorewood Elementary.  I, too, am originally from the Appleton area and came to Madison to attend college at UW, where I fell in love with the public schools and decided to stay.  My husband and I currently live in McFarland with our dog Dexter.  We spend a lot of our free time with friends and family and walking our high energy dog!  I also love reading and relaxing when I get the chance.  I am looking forward to another great year of kindergarten and to me, the best part is when the kids finally start developing a love of reading all their own!  Get ready for a super year and please stay connected to the classroom by visiting the blog and reading the weekly newsletters.   _________________________________________________________________________________
