TEACHER OF THE YEAR WINNER: Amy Tiemann at Ray Elementary

Congratulations to Amy Tiemann, our CBS Austin Teacher of the Year!

Ms. Tiemann is a Pre-K teacher at Ray Elementary School in Hutto.

Read the entry below that propelled Ms. Tiemann to the head of the class:

I would like to thank a very special Pre-K teacher from Hutto ISD, Ms. Amy Tiemann from Ray Elementary School, that continues to purposefully plan and think of different learning opportunities--that includes hands-on activities across content areas, especially oral language development, math, writing, the fine arts and most especially, social collaboration. Best teaching practices in the Pre-K classroom includes teaching children to see themselves as learners in a variety of instructional activities, which sometimes includes a loud and messy classroom! Thank you for always being open to learning and sharing new ideas! I know the memories you are forming with our children now will one day be looked back upon as being fun, memorable and legendary!

Thank you to all of our awesome teachers who were entered!
