Mrs. Kelly is a 4th-grade teacher at the Thomas J. Kenny Elementary School in Dorchester and a highly valued member of the Kenny community.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Mrs. Kelly brings excitement to the learning environment,\u201d says Franklin Wright, PE\u00a0teacher at the Kenny. \u201cShe holds students to high standards but reminds them through her actions that she cares a lot.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Kelly is the Playworks New England MVP of the Month because she always goes the extra mile to support her students, both personally and academically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Kelly with Playworks Coach Carly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Playworks Coach Carly at the Kenny, Mrs. Kelly is an active participant in Playworks Class Game Time. \u201cMrs. Kelly ties our debriefs back to concepts they have covered in their Second Step Social Emotional Learning curriculum,\u201d she says. \u201cShe challenges her students to think critically and reflect on how their actions are all connected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Kelly\u2019s class is a great example of how play can be used to enhance the learning environment for students. “Mrs. Kelly is awesome because she plays cool games with us like Jeopardy to help us learn,” says Jude, a 4th grader in Mrs. Kelly\u2019s class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without dedicated teachers like Mrs. Kelly, Playworks cannot truly leverage the power of play to support growth and learning in school. Mrs. Kelly doesn\u2019t only teach her students skills like math and reading; she teaches them to believe in themselves, to try their best, and that school should always be a safe and fun place to be. We know she will continue to inspire and support her students for the rest of the school year, and beyond!<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep up the great work, Mrs. Kelly!<\/span><\/p>\n
