Our Take On Our Favorite Teachers

My favorite teacher is Ms. Mason. I think she is a very realistic person. You can talk to her about everything like problems with friends, and problems with teachers. I think Ms. Mason is a very smart lady. She even helps you with subjects she doesn't teach. For example once my friends and I needed help with a math problem (Ms. Mason is a literature teacher.) she gave us an equation to solve and then we got an answer. She does reprimand us but then she makes a joke out of it. That's why I like her.

My favorite teacher is Ms. Martin. She is a very nice person. Then again, she is very strict. I like the way she uses her teaching methods to help us. She teaches us in a way that we kids can understand. She has made me believe that I can do anything that I want to do. She has a great sense of humor. Before I was going to have a social studies test and she helped me study. The next day was the test and I passed. If you have any problems and you need someone to talk to, she will be there for you.

My favorite teacher is Ms. Martin because she is a very understanding teacher. She has kids of her own so I guess that is what makes her special. She can relate to us in so many ways, what I mean is that she can come to the class everyday and talk to us about her home life and how crazy her life is. She is such a cool teacher, I had her last year but this year she is my homeroom teacher and she is so much more fun. She wants everybody to accomplish their goals and finish Junior High School and move on with our lives and become very wealthy and intelligent so we can send her money (just kidding). I think that she can inspire everyone's life with every little thing she does. That is why I consider her my favorite teacher.
