As Destiny McKeiver shows us, she loves hands on lessons with her second graders.
A lesson of addition and subtraction using money is what the students in Mrs. Black’s second grade class are working on.
They were excited to learn that their teacher would be featured on the news for her excellence.
“I couldn’t believe it. I was completely shocked… the entire class was with me and I read your text message and I just couldn’t even believe it, I was just shocked and I felt so blessed to be chosen,” said Black.
Mrs. Black could hardly contain her excitement for the honor.
Her principal says she’s so deserving and represents Providence well.
