About me
Hello!
My name is Kristin Newell. I am so excited and honored to teach 4th grade at Grand Peak Academy! I was born in Elgin, Illinois, but moved to Carbondale, Colorado in 1980, where I went to elementary, middle and high school. In 1992, I moved to Colorado Springs.
I am a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, where I earned both my Bachelors Degree in Sociology and my Masters Degree in Reading.
I have over 20 years of teaching experience. I have taught Title 1 Reading & Math (K-5), and 1st - 8th grades. I have also been a Literacy Resource Teacher and an Instructional Coach.
I have one son, Keegan, who is 16 and going into 11th grade.
We have 2 cats (Belle and Luna - Luna is pictured with me to the left), a gerbil (Oreo), and a garter snake (Josephine).
We love to go to movies, read, swim, golf, play basketball, and partake in outdoor adventures. We have season tickets to Air Force Men's Basketball too:) Go Falcons!
I love to learn new things, and I love teaching my students to be life long learners as well.
I can't wait to meet all of you:)
Respectfully,
Ms. Newell
