I  can see why Teacher Abby   Mowry was selected as the teacher of the year. This teacher has built a strong relationship with her students, colleagues, and the community. She has motivated her students to problem-solve real problems that can help their community. She has taught her students to work as a  team and use hands-on-activities. She has taught her students how to create a measuring tool for the pools by using 3D printing and other technology in the classroom. The most amazing part for me to hear is that she is teaching them how to advertise their creations. She has connected the community or what i would consider investors to see the students creations, this is amazing. She has given these students life skills that will enhance their possibilities to get a job in engineering or in technology. Teacher Abby deserves this award for all her effort, enthusiasm and dedication to her students, colleagues, and community. This shows me that being a passionate and dedicated teacher goes along away and makes a positive impact on students learning.
