STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Have you ever really wanted to go to school because of one teacher? Well that's why I want to go to school because of my teacher. Her name is Ms. Monaco. She is so nice and has the coolest classroom. Ms. Monaco is the most enthusiastic and empathetic teacher ever.
Things that my teacher does that makes me excited to go to school are the fun lessons she has planned for the day. I am also happy for the fun thing she does which is secret student. She picked one student and if they were good she lets them pick the game we play. Finally I love my desk. I sit at small desk that is a shrunk desk for responsive students.
My teacher lets me know that she cares about me by giving me prizes and treats. She also gives us no homework . Then at the end of every month we switch jobs and seats. We also do fill a bucket which is giving complements to others.
Ms. Monaco, helps me be a better and more confident student by getting us prepared for SBAC. She also gives us time to do rocketmath that is helping us with my math facts. Ms.Monaco is teaching us how to take math notes which is setting us up for success. She is helping us read and understand what we are reading.
She has supported me inside and outside of class by going to my tennis practices. Inside of the classroom by planning fun games and that is giving me support to do my work and answer questions. All of these reasons is why Ms.Monaco is my favorite teacher.
