Grade: 5

Teacher Name: Mrs. Amy Brown

School: Veterans Park Elementary

Reason for Entry: Mrs. Brown is AMAZING!!!!   She keeps the kids excelling while keeping things light. She helps the kids that are struggling while giving the kids that are excelling a study group. The study group not only let's them work on the subject but on their team building skills. She keeps things interesting with her unique personality. My son is getting to the age age where he is not sure if he is too old for making gifts for things like mothers day, yet for Christmas and for mothers day he is SO excited about something he made in her class. She gives them choices and usually includes science in the project. She is the standard to which other teachers should be compared.
