I had her as my teacher in fifth grade. I am in 8th grade now. She is the best teacher a kid could have in elementary school. She made learning fun and real. She allowed us to major in Law and History. She had great visitors to our classroom teaching us about their jobs and careers like lawyers and politicans. I was excited to go to school each day...and I believe that she exposed me to a future as a lawyer or something in history especially American History...I felt that she was excited to see us every day and that she loved her job.
Now I go to the Bay Academy at IS 98 in Brooklyn. It is the best school! I love it and my Principal Mrs. Nagler and Mrs. Timo, the great 8 th grade Assistant Principal. I have had many great teachers there and my teachers this year are great too....I could tell you the ones I want to thank and why but until I graduate in June I think it best that I give my opinion then. In a school like ours, which is a magnet school with high standards that Mrs. Nagler has, which is departmentalized.......I have had about 9 teachers each year....and they have been great especially the 8th grade teachers.
This is a good idea...Have a happy 2008!
