Nelly Ivano

Current 1st Grade Teacher

Nelly Ivano brings a rich and creative spirit to her classroom, drawing on a diverse background in pedagogy, the arts, and holistic practices. Her teaching style is informed by her studies in Elementary School Pedagogy, Journalism, Mime, Homeopathy, Waldorf Pedagogy, and Movement Dance Therapy. Previously, Nelly taught yoga and movement improvisation, based on classical pantomime and Commedia dell’Arte.

These days, if time allowed, Nelly would enjoy playing chess, gardening, walking in nature, traveling to new places, and spending time with family and friends. Nelly’s love of learning continues to grow, with a personal wish to deepen her understanding of mathematics and physics and to explore playing more musical instruments.
