This week's teacher Tuesday is Mrs. Taylor, she is one of our amazing 1st-grade teachers. 
We asked Mrs. Taylor the following questions and here are her responses. 

• Have you always wanted to be a teacher? if not, when did you decide that is what you wanted to do?

I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was in 3rd grade.  My best friend and I would always play school.  I’d ask my teachers for extra worksheets so I could play school.

When I think of the Crystal Apple Award and what it represents, Bristi denitely deserves this honor. Bristi Poulson was awarded the Crystal Apple by her fellow teachers at Park Elementary. Bristi is a leader in her classroom, on her team, school-wide, and at the district level. 

See the flyer for more information.

Mrs. Taylor’s class is working on understanding 10’s and 1’s for place value.  They had a big bag of candy that they had to count.   They figured out grouping them into groups of ten and then putting 10 tens together to make a hundred was the fastest way to count the candies.  The next day the students modeled numbers using unification cubes and writing the number on a place value mat.  Way to go, Leaders!
