Who Should be Watchung's Teacher of the Year?

Through the course of the school year, it's easy to be amazed and delighted by all the great things happening in Watchung Borough classrooms. From kindergarten classes at Bayberry School to eighth-grade accomplishments at Valley View, anyone entering the schools can see how excited the kids are in the classes—and how committed teachers are to their students.

The Warren-Watchung Rotary Club selects a teacher to be named "Teacher of the Year" each May and the deadline for nominations is Friday, so we wanted to find out who you'd nominate for teacher of the year—and why.

Was it their skilled classroom methods—or enthusiastic manner? Is it their ability to help children understand the complexity of their subjects, or patience in teaching?
