“There’s no one more dedicated to her students and their success. Mrs Telford teaches kindergarteners. Despite a large class size size, she devotes herself to each child to teach them the basics of appropriate classroom behavior and the ABCs and 123s of learning. Even more importantly she realizes that there’s still a need and place for imagination and fun in the classroom! Mrs Telford often preaches that creativity is also essential to learning! She is often teamed with less experienced teachers and tirelessly shares lesson plans and tips to ensure the other classes also have success.”
