About the teacher information

Hello to all!

My name is Dan Nies. This year marks my third year in the WeldRE4 School District the first in Severance. I am thrilled to be here, build upon my relationships with the students, staff and community that began two years ago as well as build some new ones with this years students and families that are new to me. I moved here from Minnesota with my family in the summer of 2017. While I was born and raised in Minnesota, I am no stranger to Colorado as I moved from Windsor in the summer of 2016 to teach in Minnesota. I am back loving my position and getting to know the terrific kids that this community churns out!

I am thrilled to be in Severance and a part of this strong and supportive school district. I can't wait to connect with the students and the community. To give anyone new to me a jump-start, here are a few things about me:

- I left Colorado to pursue my teaching career

- In the past I have taught World History, US History, Economics, US Government and a Current

Events/Global Perspectives Course

- I am from Minnesota (obviously)

- I have a beautiful and supportive wife that I'd be lost without

- I have two boys (ages 3 and 5) that keep me busy and humble

- I love Hockey and Football (see below)

- I am a Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Viking mega-fan

- I am NOT an Avalanche or Bronco fan (sorry)

- I am a Colorado Eagles mega-fan (This recently became problematic for me with their Av's affiliation)

- I love music, art and pop culture and think it can have a place in a learning environment (I might even

force the students to listen to me sing against their will from time to time)

- I am a nerd and proud of it!

I encourage anyone interested in learning more about me or meeting me to please seek me out on campus or drop a line. Here's to a great year! GO SILVER KNIGHTS!

For 9th Grade Geography (AKA: Digital Earth), we will be using ArcGIS, a global mapping software, to better see and understand the impact that geography has on humans and the impact that humans have on geography.
