I've had Ms. Merino for two years now, and in these two years I haven't regretted it once. In her class we get to put away our personal devices and really connect with one another and our classwork. Although I miss my phone sometimes it helps me focus on my priorities and get things done. I also love how dedicated she is to make sure we have a good time like planning fieldtrips and class parties. Her doing this makes me and many of my classmates excited about what the year will bring. Ms. Merino may be my teacher but she's also a great person to talk to if you need it. Overall, she's a great teacher and person; I look forward to have her class for my next two years.
