Ms. Allison Nelson
Hello! My name is Allison Nelson. I have been teaching for 25 years and this will be my 15th year at Cartersville Primary School. I have taught first grade for 12 years. This year I will continue teaching Reading EIP. I love teaching. It is one of the most interesting jobs a person can have. Students come into my classroom at the beginning of the school year full of curiosity and I have the opportunity to inspire their learning over the year. The growth that occurs is a combination of parental support, student effort, and quality instruction. One of the most important relationships is between parents and teachers--an open line of communication is the key to success.
I have one child currently enrolled and two alumni of Cartersville City Schools. William attends Cartersville High School. My oldest child, Davis, graduated from Auburn University and is pursuing a Master's Degree at Clemson University. My daughter, Elizabeth, attends the University of Georgia. As a parent, I understand the importance of the parent/teacher relationship, so I strive to have an open dialogue with my students' parents. I look forward to a wonderful year teaching reading in First Grade!
