¡Bienvenidos! Welcome! I teach Spanish in kindergarten through fifth grade at Bells, TJ and Whitman Elementary schools.  I also introduce French and German in fifth grade so that students can then choose which language they'd like to study in middle school. This is my 22nd year teaching World Language in Washington Township and I am thrilled that our District is one of the few who offers World Language starting in kindergarten!  I am originally from Philadelphia, where I taught bilingual education in the Philadelphia School District.  I moved to Township when I started working here and when I'm not working, you'll find me at my camper near the beach!

Extra fun for students AND parents/ guardians for learning any language!  Duolingo AND Busuu are both free language learning sites and apps!                                                                                                  

If you have any questions, please email me:  jnilson@wtps.org  Gracias, merci, danke!
