Ms. Nelson's Bio

 

Mrs. Nelson

I was born in Germany.  My dad was in the army and he was stationed there.

We moved to USA when I was the age of one.  I have always enjoyed children.

In fourth grade, I had a teacher who worked with me and helped me be a peer

helper in class.   I knew right then that I would be a teacher when I grew up. 

I went to college at CWU.  I have a BA in ED. So, when children as me if I am a

Cougar or a Husky, I tell them I am a Wildcat.  I get a lot of confused looks. 

I received my Masters in ED. through City University and continue to

take classes through SPU.  I started at Sandburg as a Reading Specialist.  Five \

years later I moved to Third Grade.  I loved it! I have also taught Second Grade

and am currently at Third.  I enjoy the primary grades.  I have been at

Sandburg for 19 years.  The teachers are wonderful and they are like my

family.  My real  family consists of Larry, my husband, Alex, my son(3rd grade),

 Alea, my daughter (7th grade), Tailer, my Border Collie and my newest

addition Angelo , my Cockatiel.
