Andrea Nachtrieb, Upper Elementary

Hi! My name is Andrea Nachtrieb, and I am so excited to be teaching Upper Elementary at the Juniper School.  I was born in Colorado and am a 5th generation native to our great state. I am married to a tall guy named Matt and we have two sweet kids: Adaira, who is 10 and in 5th Grade and Boden, who is 7 and in 2nd Grade. We love living, hiking, camping, paddling and playing in Durango! I started my career as a middle school math and science teacher and moved to elementary when my daughter was born. This is my 9th year teaching upper elementary, where I love getting kids excited about math and science. This year we will explore Colorado history and geography, delve into space and states of matter,  as well as continuing to grow as mathematical thinkers. it will be hard work, but it will be fun work! We will take risks together, care about each other, and have a lot of fun learning and continuing to grow! Here’s to a great year ahead! Email: [email protected]
