“Ms. Alex is so dedicated to her students’ success and everyday is an engaging day in her class. Her students start the day by practicing writing, listening to affirmations to develop a positive mindset, and having small groups to hone kids’ reading abilities. She is very effective in producing such great readers! Her kindergarten class is just so fun and she lets kids be kids. Her class does a lot of activities in and out of the classroom (she lets parents get involve on Fridays by doing arts with the kids, there’s lots of visits to gardens and parks outside of the school, etc.). Just as parents expect a lot from their kids’ education, Ms. Alex has high expectations of her students and it shows since they become confident and happy students. Her former students never fail to show their appreciation of her by greeting her daily. Thanks for being a great teacher and just an overall awesome person, Ms. Alex!”
