COUNT ME IN AWARD... Jessica Smith
Jessica is an excellent teacher! She always makes learning fun in her classroom and carefully crafts her lesson to meets the needs of her students. She makes great connections with her students and works hard to support them in a variety of ways. She is a wonderful resource for other teachers as well and is happy to share her lesson ideas across her two different subject areas. We are so lucky that she moved up to middle school this year!
