Junior Journalist Anna Brooke Keisler went down to Susie Dasher Elementary in Dublin to surprise this week’s top teacher.
Rena Soles has been teaching for 23 years total and says there's so much to love about her job.
"Recess is my favorite part," said Soles jokingly.
She says one subject is her favorite to teach.
"I really love English, language arts. That's a time [where] kids can read to me and show me their spelling, the language arts, the comprehension,” said Soles.
It allows her to see growth in her students.
"I like to see them coming to me not knowing at the beginning of the year, and then as they go at the end of the year, I love seeing them be able to read to me," Soles explained.
Her student Ayden Rogers wrote in about her and here is why he thinks she is tops.
"Ms. Soles is the toppest teacher in the whole first grade," Rogers said, “she is the best teacher because she helps us understand the work."
