Parents
Hello Parents and welcome to Ms. Nelson's 6th grade webpage. I know you are all very busy people and I want to make it easy for you to be supportive of your 6th grader. If you ever have any questions, this is a good place to look for answers. I try to keep the site updated with homework assignments, current events and more. Of course, if you can't find what you're looking for here, always feel free to email me or call me at home with the phone number provided at confrences.

My Experience
I'm sure you all have questions for me as I am a new teacher in your district. Although I do not have as many years of experience teaching as some of my colleages, I assure you I am not underqualified! My experience working with children began at age 12 where I worked as a part time nanny and tutor. I volunteered in classrooms until college where I began my internship programs. I have been placed in 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade classroom gaining ideas and knowledge along the way. I settled on 6th grade after really connecting with the kids at this age level. I feel the content is substancial and the challenges exciting!
