She is very nice and she is always very supportive about my ideas inside and outside of class. She teaches PE which means a break from the computers for a while and she always has us playing some kind of super fun game. She always smiles and says hi when I get to class even when I am a little late. She always cheers me on and helps me out when I need it. She always says hi to me and asks how my day is going she is always very kind.

Mr Hester is really awesome and extremely nice. He makes me happy to go to band and he's always very joyful. Mr Hester gave me a Starbucks cake pop after I got into region and that was the best thing he's ever done. He always buys us food and drinks and he makes band more enjoyable. He's always helping us and he's always making sure we do our best. He's always supporting us no matter what happens and will never give up on us even if we're the worst band ever. Mr Hester is one of the best teachers I've had at this school.

Recognized by: Joshua
This teacher is incredible. She has major grades every week so if we dont do good on assaignments like a reading passage or a video mini lesson, we can signifigantly improve our grade with these major grades that contain information we already learned during classtime. If we volunteer for something, she will either give us PBIS points (a store that has items in exchange for "PBIS points") or glucose ( a peppermint). This makes the classroom very engaging. Occasionally, she has guided notes with questions that we move around the room for. Overall, it is very fun and engaging in Ms. Acevado's class, and i believe she deserves this award

Tracie Barton
Springwoods Village Middle School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Alisha
Ms. Barton not only makes sure that we sing the dynamics and the lyrics right, but she also helps us understand the point of the song. By helping us learn about the meaning we can put more effort, and feeling into the song when we are singing. Some things that make me so excited to go to class is when we get to sing. I love singing, but I feel like I need more practice on my dynamics when I try to sing songs that I like. She lets us know that she cares about us because she provides not only physical support, but also mental support. Sometimes we can depend on her to listen to us vent out our feelings about different topics, and she'll give us an honest answer. When she is talking to another adult and saying great things about the choir it makes me so happy, and makes me want to try even harder to impress her. She has supported multiple decisions that we have wanted to make, but we were stuck in between honesty or sounding rude. Ms. Barton is truly an adult that I can rely on!

The reason I like this teacher is because this teacher does cool things and he is a chill teacher. also, the reason I am excited to go to this class is that we do work that is not too hard and it's like a break. because they come to check on us and see if we do well and he will hell you. they have supported me inside the classroom how it's because he won't make fun of you sometimes he will make jokes that you will like and if you don't you can ask him not to say it.

She tells us and helps us in every day possible. She gives us step-by-step problems and tells us how to fix them. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. Her class is probably one of the best classes I've had all year. She helps every student out and she even gives us sweets whenever we accomplish or do something right.

Mrs. A has a fun bubbly personality that makes learning fun. She also has a positive attitude and explains things in a scientific but kid level way. Mrs A always calls us beautiful wonderful children even when we make mistakes. She makes me more confident by telling me that I am smart and capable of great things. I have gone to Mrs. A about personal problems and she has given me advice and guided me through it. I love Mrs. A, and that's why I think she should win this award!

I think Ms.Acevedo is great because she is very interactive in the classroom room and I think her teaching methods are great for the ib learning environment because she is always very animated but also very professional at the same time shes always follows the teachers and makes sure the students are successful in what they're doing and making sure they understand what she's teaching I know this because one time I didn't understand a part of what she was teaching along with some other students so she did a minilesson simplifying it and breaking it down into smaller pieces making it easier to understand and helping us make the connections I would also like to point out that if she gets teacher of the year she could use the money to help decorate her classroom further because as i mentioned before she is very animated but also professional with her classroom decorations and materials this is why I think Ms.Acevedo should be the teacher of the year

Eric Cadondon
Springwoods Village Middle School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Joshua
This teacher has really spent their time teaching many kids at once. If a kid messes up, he will let them try again and again. He will give them the techneque they need in order to play it right. He also goes above and beyond by teaching everyones section of the band by having an exclusive time just for people's section to play. In addition, he will let us come early in the morning so we get more time to practice people's instruments. Overall, i think Mr. Cadondon is an incredible teacher and deserves this award.
