Crystal Apple Winner
For March, we recognized first grade teacher Mrs. Keefe! Mrs. Keefe's love of learning is infectious! She loves all subjects, and is excited to share each day's lessons with her students. Math is her particular favorite and her enthusiasm rubs off on her students in room 2! She will challenge her students to solve math problems in numerous ways, show them how to dig deeper into the math problems, and especially how to talk about the math. To be a part of Mrs. Keefe's classroom is exciting and renews not only my love of learning, but the students in room 2 hang on her every word and are happy to take on new tasks.
For April, we recognized our K-2 Connections teacher, Mrs. Dyer! Mrs. Dyer has an incredible way with children and continues to work hard to support new, incoming children into her classroom. During their transitions, students have made exceptional progress in her room both social-emotionally and academically. She has a unique drive in acquiring new skill sets and training opportunities when it comes to educating her students. We have all been a witness to Mrs. Dyer's "magical way" with children and she deserves great recognition for it. I continue to be amazed by her patience, determination, consistency, and joy in Room 1. Thank you for all that you do!
