Ms. Nelson, 

How long have you been at Collinsville?

This is my first year here at Collinsville. I absolutely love this school and feel so lucky to teach these kids.

What is your favorite thing about teaching?

My favorite thing about teaching is getting to know and connect with my students. I enjoy seeing them grow both academically and personally throughout the school year.

What is something funny your students have said?

One funny thing a student has said to me is that she was surprised I didn't have the same Math website to learn from "back in the day."

What is your favorite treat? 

My favorite treat is chocolate-covered pretzels or anything else chocolate.
