Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
JEFFREY URBINA
DECKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
My fourth/third grade teacher Mr. Urbina was the best teacher I ever had in my life, with Ms. Trebotich for fourth grade. And this is because of his way of teaching, mixing fun with education. Since I had a small class (for some reason, the other classes had about 20-22 students, mine had 15) my class was mostly quiet and respectable, so when Mr. Urbina saw this, he knew he could be silly with us, playing bingo that was math themed, sometimes doing blookets, and doing activities that were fun and educational. But not only that, if he saw a student struggling, he would bring them over to his table to tutor them while the rest of the class did independent. These are the two main reasons why Mr. Urbina was my best teacher yet in fourth grade.
