Teachers We L ve “Ms. Plowman is sweet because she never yells at us and treats us all fairly. She has us do fun projects. Some of those projects have been our President Report, building our Class Community and studying cray k sh in science. She is the best book reader because during read aloud she always reads to us with a lot of feelings and that makes the book more realistic. My teacher knows everything! No matter what subject she is teaching, she knows the answers to our questions. It’s going to be hard to get a new teacher in k fth grade, but I’m lucky I had a chance to be with Ms. Plowman for two years. Kelly Plowman / ANLC Nominated by: Jordan Lard Here’s what Jordan has to say about Ms. Plowman...
