Hello! I am Ann Nickerson. This is my eighteenth year to be teaching after graduating from Texas A&M- Commerce. I have been at Chandler since the doors originally opened following Cindy Blair from Kerr Elementary. I am proud to say that I have taught third graders for fourteen years and three years of fourth. This year I am teaching third grade in a self contained classroom. Fortunately I will be planning and coordinating with all talented third grade teachers.

   I dedicate my actions to have a positive impact on children each and every day by teaching them curriculum, classroom community, and self responsibility. I believe this will empower children to become life long learners. I challenge them daily to be the best that they can be making a positive difference in themselves and the lives of others.

   I believe children learn best in a caring environment with expectations and consequences in place. This is supported in my belief that family and schools work together as a team in the education of children. 

   My classroom will be a place for strengths to be reinforced and appreciated, weaknesses to be worked on diligently, and successes celebrated.

I am looking forward to another wonderful year at Chandler Elementary.
