Alexa Guynes, You're a TN Milken Educator

 

Back in the classroom, Alexa Guynes talks with students about the day's exciting announcement. She starts every day reading a picture book aloud. Picture books might seem too simple for tweens, but the discussions are reflective and analytical: What does this item symbolize? What can this person teach us? The daily story time makes the classroom feel supportive, nurturing and homey, and students love it.
