Mrs. Barbara Newsom
Hello, and welcome to Mountainside Elementary and to our third grade classroom. I am super excited to have landed here at Mountainside! I began my teaching career approximately 11 years ago, after working in the corporate world for several years. I have taught in three different districts in Colorado Springs, and now I am very proud to be a Mountainside Cougar. I hold a Master’s Degree in Reading from Regis University, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with a minor in psychology, also from Regis University. I had the distinct honors of growing up a military dependent and growing up in Germany! Having had that nomad life-style, I love to travel and experience new things, and I enjoy bringing those experiences into the classroom to help expand the students thinking and wonderings. My most favorite question is “Why?” I am looking forward to working with each and every one of the amazing minds in this 3rd grade classroom, with the parents/guardians, and others to make this an amazing year of growth and amazement!
