December

This month’s ABCDifference honoree is Jamie Harrell. Mrs. Harrell has been teaching at Daugherty Elementary School in Garland, TX for three years. She specializes in K-3 Special Education Resource. Jamie loves the look in the eyes of a child when they learn something new for the first time. The experience she shares with them, broadening horizons is extremely gratifying. One of her most rewarding experiences was working with a 1^st grader who had some real difficulty remembering letters and sounds. This student, after working with Mrs. Harrell was able to read! Jamie finds it really sweet when her students tell her that they are sad on Fridays because they will miss her over the weekend. Jamie Harrell hopes that the future of education keeps it all about the kids.

In Jamie’s down time, she can be found doing family activities with her three year old, eight month old, and husband. When Jamie discovered that she was chosen as this month’s honoree she was very excited! Having young kids, she rarely does things just for herself. She had a wonderful experience working with Blanca and Adriana and is very happy with her new look!
