Joined 8 years ago

Jon Fines is a kindergarten teacher at Cold Springs Elementary in Missoula, Montana. When he’s not leading his troop of kindergarteners on wonder adventures, Jon spends time with his wife Misti, and their two sons Jack and Maron. Jon believes “Wondering is in all of us – young and old. If we keep kids wondering in education, their imagination and inquisitiveness will guide them to new learning opportunities. Not only will they continue to wonder, but they will be motivated to seek out answers on their own.”
