Hip hip hooray! 826 is delighted that Amy Clark is the January/February Teacher of the Month. Amy teaches fifth grade at Creative Arts Charter School in San Francisco. Here are just a few of the many nice things that people have said about Amy:

“Inside the classroom, Amy has found unique ways to approach the curriculum. For example, in their early American history unit, the children set up a travel agency to lure visitors to the thirteen original colonies...Amy is an inventive teacher...”
– Leslie Lombre

“Her classroom is a very safe environment to learn and work. She gives an opportunity for everyone to shine and achieve things that she teaches in her classroom. She’ll always help you. She pays attention to people who need help. She has a lot of patience to control the 23 kids in her class and that takes a lot of energy!”
– Sonia Odom

“She loves all of her students, each and every one of them…She is even getting a Master’s Degree in teaching! I started school in August and I’ve already learned so much!”
