Hello Everyone! My name is Nelinda Cantu Iles. I am so happy to be working with your child this year! One of my passions is teaching kids the love of reading and learning. It's incredible to watch them grow, wonder, develop new skills and relationships. I graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton. Originally from Dallas, I moved to Austin 15 years ago with my wonderful husband. We also have a hilarious dog named Libby (Libby Tenders, Libtons, Tonnage...we have a lot of names for her).
This will be my 15th year teaching, and my 12th year at Bridge Point. Having spent the last 11 years teaching first grade, I'm very excited to be moving up to 2nd grade this year! I really do think this is a great age. As a teacher, I am so grateful to be working in such a supportive community, and be in a position where I can ignite kids' imagination and instill a love of learning. Outside of teaching, my hobbies are practicing yoga, listening to music, reading and traveling as much as I can. I look forward to our year together, and getting to know your child and you.
