Teacher Tidbits
My name is Nancy Mistro. I have been teaching since 1997 when I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I have taught fourth grade and kindergarten, but have spent most of my teaching career teaching fifth graders. I love to see the excitement and progress that my students make over the course of our year together. I also enjoy working with student teachers (or teacher candidates) as they work toward the goal of having their own classrooms. My fifth graders benefit from their experience and work in the classroom with us!
Some other facts about me:
*My birthday is August 28.
*I was married in 2010 to a true "car guy" who enjoys working on and rebuilding cars and engines.
*We have a cat named Macy and a dog named Nelson Ridgely.
*I enjoy reading, playing the piano, scrapbooking, and rubber stamping.
*I have been at Nelson Ridge in fifth grade since 2002.
*I don't have a favorite book because there are so many out there. My reading list is called "Mistro Mountain" because there are so many I want to read. Some favorites would include the Anne of Green Gables series, the Little House on the Prairie series, The Cay, and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
*I love all things coffee and chocolate!
*I have been to France to work at a children's camp, and have been on a Caribbean cruise. I want to someday travel to Alaska to see the Iditarod and travel by train through Ireland, England, and Scotland.
*My favorite movies are "National Treasure 1 and 2" and "You've Got Mail."
