Mrs. Londoño's Kindergarten Class

My name is Nicole Londono and I am thrilled to be teaching at The Arts Based School! 

I am beginning my 19th year teaching/9th year at ABS with my experience focused in grades K-2. I feel truly blessed to be a part of the ABS family, both as a parent and teacher. Incorporating the arts into the learning experiences in my classroom while watching children use their natural creativity and curiosity to make discoveries in their learning makes teaching at ABS so awesome! We are going to have a wonderful year together in the classroom!

My favorite things include:

~Spending time with my family and our sweet Cocker Spaniels Cindy Lu and Darling

~Creating art at home (oil pastels and water color)

~Going to the beach & visiting natural settings on our beautiful coast 

~Jamming to good tunes which include DMB, 311, Bob Marley and of course 80's-90's classics!

~Reading, especially historical fiction, mystery and of course humorous beach reads

~Chocolate :)

~Speaking Spanish & traveling
