She possessed a unique ability for creating a classroom environment designed to engage her students. Sandy always strived to individualize each child's learning experience and bring out the best in her students. She wanted every student to feel special and have fun while they learned.
Great teachers work very hard behind the scenes. They spend countless hours preparing lessons and innovative projects that will challenge each student to perform to their personal best. They give more than is required to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and feel confident in themselves. This is the type of teacher Sandy was – a GREAT one.
