Mrs. Yollis was awarded the Teacher of the Year in her district and there have been many celebrations!
On September 13, her family, friends, colleagues, and former students attended the announcement at the district office. One of her former students, Miriam, covered the story on her blog! Read about it here.
After the district meeting, the celebration continued at a local restaurant!
Last Friday, all the Los Angeles County Teachers of the Year were invited to attend a celebratory luncheon at the Universal Studios Hilton.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI really like using the new mobi view. I like how it can draw shapes. I also like how you can change the color of the writing. The third thing I like about it is that you can play connect the dots with it. And finally, I love that you can change the writing to REALLY BIG.
Sincerely,

Hello Mrs. Yollis and students,
ReplyDeleteWE are visiting your blog because Miss B would like to know if it is okay if she shows us your Tips on Commenting Video?
She says it will help us a lot, but we have been talking about creative commons and making sure we have the right to view or use an image for example. So we are writing to ask permission.
When we got to your blog we were honored to see that you had won an award. Congratulations! I'm sure your students are very proud!
We are going to be getting our own blog when our netbooks arrive in October and will come back to visit!

Hi this is Matthew,
ReplyDeleteI like that you can write with the Mobi without touching the keys. I also liked that it is mobile and you can move it wherever you want in the classroom.

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mrs Yollis,I am so happy for you!
I would love to have been there with you when you recieved your special award.
Mrs Yollis they gave you and your students some wonderful prizes.
I think the interactive tablet looks a lot like the IWB (Interactive Whiteboard) which we have at Leopold only our IWB's are much bigger.
At Leopold we have lots of IWB's they are Whiteboards that we write on and learn off as well.
From your pal,
Bianca.

Thank you for your terrific comment and for coming to the district office with your family to celebrate! I loved that Miriam created a post about it! How nice!
The MOBI is a very interesting tool. We will have to learn how to use it effectively. How should we use it?
♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡
@ Mrs. Hembree,

Wow! I love how you're all working with that interactive tablet. What a fantastic way to use technology in the classroom! What else do you do on it? We are very interested! We are a blogging class from Australia, 1st grade, and we love to use technology too. We just found your blog, and we'll be checking back again soon! Everything looks GREAT, and congratulations on the award, Mrs. Yollis!

Dear Mrs.Yollis ,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on wining teacher of the year! You really deserve it.
You are a fantastic teacher and I longed for you. My cousin’s mom told me that I got the best teacher and I agree. You are very efficient and you save paper.
Sincerely,
Acacia
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations on the Teacher of the Year award! That is a wonderful accomplishment, although I am not very surprised of your achievement, who wouldn't think that you're the Teacher of the Year?
Secondly, all I can say is that that sure is a nice gift! The Mobi View (is that how you spell it?) is very lovely. I wish Mrs. Krauss had that! What do you regularly use it for? How do you even use it? Does it have a special button where you can send your colorful messages? is it like the Word document?
How are Beverly and Panda?
Hannah and Leila gave my brother Stefan the same giant bear that you have for his birthday. The bear doesn't have the most creative name, but Stefan calls him Brownie and sometimes Blacky. He switches the name every few days and it is difficult to keep track of.
I apologize that my family missed the award ceremony. We head some activities planned between the same time as the ceremony. I hope that I made up for it by going last year, but you probably will get it next year and if you do, we will be sure to not plan anything that day ahead of time.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is so well-deserved. I learn so much from you, yet we've never met in person. You extend yourself to teachers around the world and push all of us to grow as teachers. I am so proud of you and inspired by you.

Hello Mrs. Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to be recognised for going above and beyond. I have visited your blog and seen tweets on Twitter. I can see plenty of evidence why Mrs Yollis was chosen.
Well done, Mrs. Yollis, Well done, class. "Teacher of the Year" is a recognition of school, class and Mrs. Yollis.
