Learning doesn't have to be done in the classroom; in fact I believe that a large amount of learning happens at home during family fun activities. Here are a few ideas to do at home to increase your child's learning and have fun while doing it!

-Play board games, this can improve children's literacy and critical thinking skills.
-Go on Virtual Field Trips- Many museums around the world are offering free virtual tours, this could be a fun way to learn about different cultures.
-Play Minute to Win it Games-
This can help your children get better at counting, improve their motor skills, and literacy the opportunities are endless.

My name is Mandy Nielson or Mrs. Mandy, I am 27 years old, and this is my first-year teaching. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in 2023.  I started school a little later because I wanted to take time to have my two children and be home with them.  I have loved working with children all my life and I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I have a deep love for all things Disney, and I enjoy singing and spending time with my family. I also spend a lot of my time volunteering in the community because I think it is so important to donate your time to those who need it. I am passionate about instilling children with the knowledge that they can do and be whatever they put their mind too with hard work along with positive affirmation and support from those around them. I want to help children know what they are truly capable of and a huge part of that is building their self-esteem.  I believe that through mutual respect and communication we can achieve the goals we set together, as a team. I will do my best to be intuitive to my students needs academically and emotionally and I believe that through doing this we can have a great year full with a love of learning! I am so honored and excited to be their teacher this year.
