My daughters, ages 9 and 8, have both had the unbelieveable privilege of having Ms. Berry as their teacher, one previously and one currently. Ms. Berry has this spectacular ability to draw creativity, imagination, and excellence from her students, especially in the area of writing. My daughters have never talked about writing more, spoken of stories their teachers told more, or actually written so well as they did and do when under the instruction of Ms. Berry. Not only do I feel that Ms. Berry is instilling in her students a life-long love for writing and reading, but also the priceless ability to express themselves, factually, realistically, and imaginitively. Beyond being an excellent teacher she is gentle, nurturing, kind, and motivating. Thank you Ms. Berry for having an everlasting influence on my daughters' lives. I value the difference you have made in not only their intellect but also their character.
