How do you know the teacher?

I was a Nanny and co-worker with her. Now friend.

What does this person teach?

First grade

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

While raising 3 children of her own, she taught through all of them. She is kind and always goes above and beyond for the children in her classroom. Always getting to know them personally and teaches each individual as they are special and in the way they could learn best. If there is a child who struggles she takes her time and energy to advocate and help for the child. She is fun loving and the kids love her. I believe the energy she finds for all her kids as a mom and a teacher is due to the fact how much she cares and wants the best for them. She believes every child can reach their potential and she does all she can to help that happen .

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Her willingness to step up to a challenge and the passion in which she will go above and beyond to help children succeed. Also she always is 😄 always smiling!
