RES TEACHER OF THE MONTH

Melinda Hobbs was recently chosen as Teacher of the Month for Rector Elementary. Her nomination came from a fellow teacher and stated,“Mrs. Hobbs has done an amazing job at implementing Universal Design for Learning techniques. She is good at accommodating and modifying her lessons to meet the needs of each of her students. She always has a can-do attitude and puts in the extra effort for her students. She does all of this while still completing all the other demands of being a teacher. She can inspire any teacher who believes doing it all is impossible.” She received a certificate and $10 Caffeinated Cow gift card. (Courtesy photo)
