Congratulations Bailee Blecker from Spring Creek Elementary in Rockford, Illinois.

Logan Wendt nominated Miss Blecker.  He writes,

I think Miss Blecker at Spring Creek Elementary should be the next teacher of the week. She is my favorite 3rd grade teacher. I am excited to go to school this year because she is kind. She encourages us to do our best and always gives us compliments on our work.

 

She makes me feel confident in myself when she tells me I am doing the best work I have ever done. I look forward to seeing her every morning because she always says hello and offers us a high five or a hug if we want one. That makes me feel really happy. I think this year in 3rd grade is going to be great and I hope my teacher gets teacher of the week because she is great too.
