My name is Nicole Patton and I have been teaching elementary school in Temecula for 14 years. I taught 4th grade for 9 years and this is my 5th year teaching 5th grade. I have been at NVES for my entire career. I love teaching upper grade students because they are very independent, but still very sweet and kind. I love helping them learn something they thought was too hard or even impossible to do! My goal is to help prepare my 5th graders for middle school and encourage them to be independent thinkers and problem solvers.

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and our two adorable dogs, Royce and Chevy. The four of us love to go camping! I also enjoy cooking and traveling to new places.
