Mrs. Nicholas's Classroom Website

I grew up near Minneapolis, Minnesota but have since lived in several areas of the midwest.  I attended college at Minnesota State University Moorhead where I graduated with a degree in Secondary English Education in 2004.  Then, I moved to Menomonie, Wisconsin where I taught seventh grade language arts for nine years.  In search of a new adventure, my husband and I moved to Ishpeming, Michigan in 2016 where I substitute taught in the area for two years.  I finally landed my dream job as an English teacher at Negaunee Middle School and High School and am so proud to be a Miner!

I became a teacher because I love learning, and I want to instill a love of learning in the youth of future generations.  I strongly believe that EVERY child can learn, and I work tirelessly to make sure I use a variety of teaching methods, address real-life topics, and make learning engaging.  I love my job and am so excited to start every school year learning and growing with a new group of students.

My husband, Jason, and I have been married for 17 years.  We have three boys:  Eli (12), Jasper (10), and Tommy (7).  We also have two dogs: Oscar and Howard.  We live in Ishpeming, but we open-enroll our kids in Negaunee schools.

I am energetic, meticulous, easy to talk to, and I love to stay busy!  In my spare time, I enjoy hitting the beach at Lake Superior searching for agates, playing with my dogs, adventuring with my family, hiking, fly fishing, gardening, and playing softball.  I love traveling the world, learning new things, and meeting new people.
