🍎📚 OCTOBER TEACHER OF THE MONTH! 📚🍎
Toyota of Muscatine is SO excited to recognize Noelia Espinal from Muskie Early Learning Center as our October Teacher of the Month!
Noelia plays such an important role in shaping the minds of our youngest Muskies! As a teacher in the 4-year-old Dual Language Immersion Program, she helps create a fun, welcoming, and engaging environment where little learners can grow in both English and Spanish. Since the program began in 2021, Noelia has been a huge part of its growth and success!
Her dedication doesn't stop at the classroom doors! She is actively involved in building and district leadership teams and helps organize Viva Muscatine, continuing to make a difference throughout our community.
What makes this recognition even more special? Read some reasons why her fellow colleagues nominated her! 🥹 They highlighted her kindness, dedication, and willingness to always lend a helping hand.
"It is very difficult to choose a teacher to nominate, because our building is full of such great educators!! Noelia is incredibly knowledgeable, and completely irreplaceable! She was an amazing 3 year old ECSE teacher for years, and then she transitioned to create and maintain our incredible dual language program. She is kind to everyone, she is always ready to sing and dance, and she is always willing (or maybe she is recruited :) ) to participate in extra teams and committees to ensure our building is the best it can be!"
"She is the first teacher in the Dual Language program and has to buy or create many of the resources she needs in Spanish. This money would help take some of the pressure off getting what she needs. She gives so much to her students, our building, and district as she leads the way in Dual."
"Noelia devotes her blood, sweat and tears to her students, classroom, and school by serving on the Building Leadership Team. She also serves the district by helping build the Dual Language Program in Muscatine and participating in the District Leadership Team. She is my go to person to give me honest, down to Earth advice or just listen to my concerns."
Congratulations, Noelia! Thank you for the love, time, and energy you pour into our little Muskies every single day. Teachers like you are what make our community so special! ❤️
Help us give Noelia a BIG congratulations in the comments! 👏🎉
