Children remember many teachers who stood out as monsters in the educational world. On the other hand, a few teachers became memorable in the eyes of their students because of their dedication and involvement. These teachers achieved their goal of having students enjoy their class while maintaining a proper school education. Involved teachers who portray professionalism and allow student-teacher relationships entice students to openly participate in class.
Preschool is usually when children start their public school year. In a Brooklyn preschool, one particular teacher, Ms. Amy, was still engraved in my memory. She was tall with tan skin and dark blonde hair who smiled a lot in a class of twenty. Every morning Ms. Amy greeted the students …show more content…
Lennon, a third grade teacher remained in my memory from my childhood. She was a tall Caucasian woman with blonde hair who had a humorous laugh. When she laughed, all the other students would laugh along even though we did not know why. During story time, all of us circled around Ms. Lennon and she encouraged us to read along with her (Arvidson, 2008, p. 111). As she read the stories, we became faster at reading and recognized familiar words faster than before. For a project to celebrate Dr. Seuss' book Green Eggs and Ham, Ms. Lennon had a period dedicated for green eggs and ham. All the students ate green eggs and ham due to the character in Dr. Seuss' book and let us know the lesson of not judging anything by its appearance (Ellerbrock, Abbas, Dicicco, Denmon, Sabella & Hart, 2015, p. 49). Another significant day was when I was absent from class due to an illness. The next day I returned to class and impressed Ms. Lennen with my division exercises because I was not suppose to understand it due to my illness, but my dad tutored …show more content…
D. The first time I went in the class, he scared all of us by taking out a heavy brick from his cabinet and throwing it at a classmate, which turned out to be a look-a-like sponge. Mr. D was animated in the classroom and loved to hear our interests on outside school activities. We had a project in the back of the room where people could build when they were done with their work. Everyone liked hands-on projects, especially when there was a roller coaster model available when we were free and allowed to assemble. There was never a moment where people were scared of him because we knew he wouldn't hurt us and the classroom was full of laughs (Ellerbrock, Abbas, Dicicco, Denmon, Sabella & Hart, 2015, p. 49). He made sure all of us knew the material when he gave out tests and invited students who maintained good grades to ice cream parties during lunch (Ellerbrock, Abbas, Dicicco, Denmon, Sabella & Hart, 2015, p. 51). In some cases he told us about life stories by using his son as examples and let us see his motocycle on special occasions. There were many extra credit opportunities in his class and he was a very fair man. Mr. D always had a open door for students if there was a problem they wanted to talk about and helped them resolve
