In Jennifer Bartoli's classroom, every day begins with a “soft start”—a welcoming time when students can ease into the day by connecting with one another through music, movement, and meaningful conversation. They sing, dance, share stories, and help each other get into a positive mindset. This daily routine has become the heartbeat of her classroom community and sets the tone for a day filled with kindness, curiosity, and collaboration.

She believes that when students feel safe, seen, and supported, they are more motivated to learn and grow. She says they are more than just classmates—they are a classroom family.

Jennifer is an exceptional third-grade teacher who consistently goes above and beyond for her students. She always puts their needs first, creating a classroom environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn. Her dedication to their growth—both academically and personally—is unmatched, and it's clear that teaching is more than just a job to her; it's a calling. With a natural gift for connecting with kids, she earns the nickname "the kid whisperer" for the way she understands and reaches even the most challenging students with patience, empathy, and skill. I am honored to have my child in her classroom and equally honored to call her both a friend and colleague.
