Meet Mrs. Newton
My name is Nyla Newton, and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year. It's going to be an awesome year! This year my goals are for your child to grow not only academically, but socially and emotionally too.
I have 24 years of teaching experience and this is my fourth year teaching 5th grade here at Raven Stream. I have previously taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. I graduated from Willmar High School, earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Concordia College in Moorhead and then completed my master's degree in Curriculum Design and Instruction from St. Mary's University.
I live with my husband, Paul and have two boys named Henry and Sam. We have a dog named Aggie that loves to go on lots of walks, too! When I'm not out walking my dog around town, I enjoy relaxing at our cabin up north, having campfires in our backyard, and baking new recipes.
Challenge Accepted!
This is the theme for our building this year and I can't wait to dive into what this means with our new 5th graders! We will be talking about being in our "comfort zones" and how we can challenge ourselves to "step outside the box" and make this the best elementary year yet! As a 5th graders your child will be a leader in our school. We hope to have a kindergarten buddy class again, take opportunities to show respect in all areas of our school, and be good role models for others.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better this school year. I believe communication will be a crucial part to a successful year. Please feel free to contact me about any concerns. Let's make it a great year!
Mrs. Newton
