“Mrs. Benson is my science teacher, and she is SO MUCH FUN! We do experiments, activities, and other fun things in her class all the time! She teaches in a way that makes sense, and she has a clear way of showing us what we should be doing. Mrs. Benson is super nice and funny, and she makes it so science is never boring! She’s always able to keep the class in control, but she also isn’t way too strict, like some teachers are.
Mrs. Benson has an easy, organized way to show us what we need to work on, and where we can find assignments on her Canvas page. She also grades assignments very quickly, and always responds to emails. She also makes sure to send out emails whenever there’s a big event coming up that parents and students will likely need to be reminded of. Mrs. Benson is my most favorite teacher, because she’s funny, helpful, and always focused on making class fun and engaging! This is why I chose to nominate her.”
