Crystal McCarley is a kindergarten teacher at Beaver Elementary School in Wildersville.
She has been teaching there for 12 years, including teaching third, fifth, and sixth grade before landing in her current role.
McCarley originally did not want to teach kindergarten, but after her experience, it is now her favorite grade to teach and says she loves working with her students.
“In order to keep the students engaged, you’ve got to change things up a lot,” McCarly said. “So we’re constantly moving and doing different things throughout the day, to keep it new.”
She said her favorite thing about teaching is seeing growth within her students, especially socially. She loves seeing her students open up in the classroom.
