It didn’t take long for Yanet Paloma to earn the hearts and minds of her first and second grade students at Bob Hope Elementary School. On a recent morning Paloma was working on math with the students but they were really looking forward to their science lesson, she said. On Thursday Paloma was named Teacher of the Month, sponsored by Philpott Motors. The honor comes with a $500 gift card and puts Paloma in the running for Teacher of the Year, which is awarded in December and comes with a $1,000 gift card.
