Allison Craft is a 9th and 10th-grade Science teacher at Chelsea High School. Chelsea Buzz caught up with her recently to ask her a few questions about different things regarding growing up, her favorite things, and her teacher strategies. She is very outgoing and always wants her students to have a fun activity to do and to understand what they are doing. Every morning she has a fun “attendance question” so instead of saying “here” every day Ms. Craft can get to know each of her students and what they like.
