Mrs. Nelson - Room 106
Education: I am a graduate from Boise State University in Marketing. I earned a teaching certificate from ASU West. I received a Masters degree in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. I have a gifted and reading endorsement.
Experience: This is my fifteenth year of teaching elementary school. I have worked at Legend Springs since it opened. I previously taught at Arrowhead Elementary. This is my third year of teaching third grade. I have previously taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and I have been a reading specialist.
Family: I have a son, Corbin, that graduated from NAU and works at LIDS as a manager in Tempe. I have a daughter, Chloe, that works as a paraprofessional at our school.
Hobbies: In my time away from school, I like to read, help at church, go shopping, and travel with my family. This summer I visited Oakridge, Oregon where a campsite was named after our family name in honor of my dad and his years of volunteer service to the forest service. I also went to Fargo, North Dakota with my husband for a family wedding, and visited the beach in Del Mar with my children and husband.
I am looking forward to meeting new students and having an awesome year in 2013-14!!!
