Welcome to Room 1-2

My name is Michelle Nichols.  I am excited to be teaching First grade at St. Albert's this year.
I have previously taught for the Archdiocese as a Kindergarten, First and Second Grade teacher. I am a member of the parish and have been involved with Cub Scouts and CCD.  

My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree from West Chester University in Early Childhood Education.  I attended Holy Family where I received my Master's Degree as  Reading Specialist.  I received my Wilson Reading Certification in 2013.  

I enjoy learning new strategies to help my students succeed. 
I believe in empowering them to be the best they can be! 

When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jim and sons, Jimmy, Patrick and our dog Ember.  

I look forward to a great school year with your child.  
Mrs. Michelle Nichols
