Hello!  My name is Kristin Nichols.  I am married to an arborist and have 2 sweet kids.  I was born and raised in Lewistown, MT.  My kindergarten teacher was so amazing that she inspired me to be a teacher!  Since age 5 this has been my passion and I feel like it is my true calling. 

I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Dance.  I have been teaching since 2006.  I have experience teaching kindergarten, first and third grade.  I love them all!  I think I love 1st the most because you get to see such a huge amount of growth! 

In the summer of 2015 I moved to Idaho to be close to my family.  It was an adjustment from small town Montana, but I absolutely love it here!  I have been able to hike, bike, camp, swim and play in the Idaho wilderness and it's breathtaking! 

I love practicing American Sign Language and incorporating it into our everyday activities.  I also love spending time with family and friends, doing anything outdoors, singing, dancing, playing instruments, and eating good food!  I have a giant love for coffee, elephants and KIDS!
