About Me

About Me
Nancy Nelson
I love teaching! I especially love teaching P.E.. I knew I wanted to teach when I was very young. It seemed that no matter what I was doing, I loved it best when I could help someone else learn or understand something that was challenging. When the people I teach succeed and feel good about themselves, that becomes my success, too.
My first official teaching position was in 1976. I taught physical education through the Early Childhood Education Program in California. From then to now, I have taught classroom subjects and P.E.and I have facilitated and trained in the field of adventure education.

My students have ranged in age from three-year olds through adults. I have worked with alternative high school students, children in Mexico and teachers & counselors throughout the U.S.. I have been lucky enough to work with folks in several countries.

This is my fourth year working with the children at Seabury School. We are all very fortunate to be at this special place, with the people who make Seabury a safe, stimulating and fun place to learn and grow.
