Kari Krouse is Gilbert's Teacher of the Year, and she does an amazing job with her students during their exploration of concepts and content. She came up with a very creative way to teach her students about conservation by designing an activity that saves paper as well as cleaning supplies. Each child was provided an amount of shaving cream, they rubbed it on their desks and then drew some item they could recycle or help conserve. Once they explained their thinking to Miss Krouse, the image was rubbed away and a new one emerged. The children loved the fact that Miss Krouse became actively involved with them during their activity. In the photo, Ella Carter encourages Miss Krouse to participate in a most unique way. It is evident that this young lady loves her students and her role as their teacher.
