STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY

The thing that made this teacher amazing was that she actually tried putting in effort while teaching, and she made math fun. I remember in 7th grade I was one of the lowest performing students even tho I was in honors I couldn't learn. It was difficult because the atmosphere felt pressured and it wasn't really interactive. But thanks to Ms Arroyo I learned how to like math and find the purpose of using it. She lets us know that she cares for us by checking up on us whenever we need help unlike some other teachers. She made me and others be better by telling us to be confident with our work and to be confident with our answers even if they were wrong to show that we are at least learning. She also supported me by saying you will get a good grade on my STARR and to be fair I did but it could've been better I wanted to prove her right. At last in general she was an amazing teacher I have no complaints I wish I was able to relive it again with my friends and hope we all do better as a class it was really fun while it lasted.
