My name is Mrs. Nelson and I'll be your ELA and Social Studies teacher this year! I'm so excited to have you in my class! It's going to be such a fun year!
Below you can learn more about me and access important resources for my classes, including access to Google Classroom and our independent reading contract.
I live close to Gillette Stadium in Plainville with my husband, Bryan, our daughter, Harper, and our dog, Phoebe! We love to spend time together as a family and go on walks, watch movies, and go out to eat. We're new parents and have loved spending this summer with Harper, watching her grow and develop daily!
To prepare to be your teacher, I attended Westfield State University (2016) and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Liberal Studies with a concentration in English. Since graduating, I've worked as a long-term substitute, paraprofessional, and have been a full-time classroom teacher for the last 8 years. Over those years, I've taught 6th-grade ELA, Science, and Social Studies. I also received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from American International College in the spring of 2021.
As a person, I LOVE reading and watching movies/TV. I adore stories! I especially love reading and watching while snuggling on the couch with Phoebe or lying outside in the sun! I LOVE Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, all things Marvel, and Disney in general. You'll see my love for these things in room 407. You'll also see LOTS of Harper & Phoebe :) I also love spending time with our closest friends and family. We're very blessed to have amazing people in our lives!
