Hello and welcome to fifth grade,

The 2017-18 school year begins my 23rd year of teaching in the Saint Paul Public Schools.

I love teaching, and am wholly dedicated to the growth of your child. I strive each day to create an environment in which every child is valued, respected, and challenged. I honor each child and believe that I have a deep responsibility to you.

Mr. Nelson
