WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN WITH
MRS. NELSON!
My name is Kristen (Lepeska) Nelson and I am THRILLED to be your teacher this year! It’s going to be a fun year filled with lots of learning and new adventures and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us! I want to know all about you, but first I am going to tell you a few things about me!
I am originally from Montfort. I am one of 7 kids and have 13 nieces and nephews. I love being a part of a big family and we are all very close (my sister Lisa and I live the farthest away… and we only live in Mineral Point!) My family owns a dairy farm outside of Montfort and that is where I spent a lot of my time growing up. I still go out there a lot, but now it’s just to visit and not to milk, since 6 years ago they installed robots to milk the cows!
I graduated from Iowa-Grant in 2002 and went to UW- Platteville for Elementary Education. After I graduated, I taught 4K at Belmont for three years. This is my fourth year here at I-G and my third teaching Kindergarten. I absolutely loved teaching 4K, but it’s amazing to see how much Kindergarteners learn in a year!
I live in Mineral Point with my husband, Brent, and our two daughters. Brent is an auditor at Johnson Block, an accounting firm in town. Leah is 4 ½ and is a very sweet little girl! She is so much like me when I was little! She loves to draw, sing, go to the park, ride her bike, read books and help me however she can. She is also going to 4K this year! Hannah is 2 ½ and is growing WAY too fast! It is amazing how different they are so far! Leah is so shy and quiet and Hannah will say “hi” to everyone. Hannah loves to play with dolls, read books, color, climb and run! We are also are expecting another baby in January!
If I ever get a little free time, I love to knit and crochet.
I can’t wait to see you on August 20th for Back to School Night! You will get your picture taken, drop off your supplies, see the classroom, meet some classmates, and see me! I can’t wait to start the year!
