My fourth-grade teacher, Mr. Geater, was the best teacher in the world. Mr. Geater taught Math and Science and it was the class that I always looked forward to every day.

tale I noticed many grammatical mistakes but beyond that I noticed the level of creativity that Nolan put into this tale. Nolan mentions, dragons and unicorns and evil princes and touches every element a fairytale has. Although Mrs. Finster does not grade their writing for anything other than completion I believe Nolan did an extraordinary job with this writing piece. I can tell he enjoyed writing it as well because there are bits and pieces of his humor throughout the tale, for example the…

Students for each grade level were assigned an individual reading goal to meet by the end of the year but divided into 4 quarterly segments. Since our school theme for this year is ‘Riding the Wave of Success,’ our reading initiative was named the Big Kahuna. The…

REL110R with Dr. Richard Wilson, and we hope to find a resolution. Primarily, Dr. Wilson’s expectations for submitted assignments were unclear. Because our submitted assignments were not returned to us with clear feedback and we only attended the fourth hour on less than a handful of occasions, we were unable to understand what he was looking for in our writing. Dr. Wilson, while promising for most of the semester to give feedback in a timely manner, to improve for the next assignment, almost…
