About Me

My name is Brigitta Nicole Campbell and I go by Nicki. I have been teaching for five years and this year is going on my sixth year teaching. I am a life long learner and am always trying to improve my skills and strategies as a teacher. I feel that relationships have an important role in a student's learning. I will try to always have a positive relationship with each and everyone of my students.
I grew up overseas in Germany being part of a military family, which has molded me into the person I am today. I use my travel and cultural experiences with my students to connect real life experiences with learning situations. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from University of North Alabama. I have my Masters' Degree from University of Phoenix in Curriculum and Instruction.
I met my husband my last year in college and we got married in 2011. He is in the Navy and just recently left to begin that career. He was currently and EMT here in Decatur. I look forward to seeing him again. I have a sister that lives in Seattle, WA and my mom still lives in Germany. I hope to visit Germany again soon. My mom is 5th grade teacher in Vogelweh Elementary School teaching children of the military.

Dear Parents,

    Hope you all had a great weekend. It never seems long enough. I think the kids agree. Our reading tests last week were not good. I fear many of the kids are not looking back and checking their answers. I reinforce this as much as I can and will continue to encourage them to look over there and look for answers in the text. I will provide more practice for students to work on the skills they need on the test this week. I will also be sending home reading logins and passwords for students to work on the computer at home.

     I try to post in the blog at least once a week, but will try to make more of an effort to post more often. The day just gets away from me. Please keep in mind when your child has a book talk. I will post it in the blog and try to email you when the time is close.

 

Have a great week!

Thank you

Mrs. Campbell

Dear Parents,
     I hope everyone was able to rest on Labor Day and ready to get back to school and work. I had an amazing weekend.  My husband graduated from naval boot camp and is now in Pensacola, FL for on the job training. Yes I am very jealous right now, but also very proud. LOL!
     Remember to have your children complete the homework on time. Students will receive a grade for completing it on time at the end of the 9 weeks. Also, I check and make corrections on the homework; however, it is not a grade. Graded papers are coming home today. Please make sure you look over your child’s tests and work. You can also go online to see their grades for each subject. Contact the school office for that information.           Book Talk calendar is coming home today. Please be aware of when your child does his or her book talk. It is a grade and points are deducted for each day it is late. Go check out the blog every few days because I will be updating with new information and how our day looks.
Have a great week!
Thank you
Mrs. Campbell
