About Me
- Michael L. Bonner
- Hello! Welcome to our class blog. I've been the 4th grade teacher at TCS since 2001, and I'm very proud to be a part of this school. I wouldn't want to teach anywhere else. I grew up in Jamestown, New York (about an hour south of Buffalo). I graduated from the University of Colorado with a BA in English Literature, received an MA in Anthropology from the University of New York at Albany, and earned my teaching endorsement from Fort Lewis College in Durango. Before moving to Taos, I taught 4th and 5th grade for four years on the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, NM. Prior to teaching, I worked for several years as a ski patroller and snowmaker in Colorado at Eldora and Telluride. My wife Hillary is a teacher at Taos Middle School. We have one very large dog named Alejandro. We love to hike, bike, camp, ski, and travel. Thanks for visiting our blog! You can contact me via email: mbonner@taoscharterschool.org or at school 751-7222 ext 221.
