STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
My teacher is awesome because they make learning fun and explain things so I can understand. They don’t get mad when we ask questions and they always help when we are stuck.
They make me excited to go to class by doing activities, group work, and fun projects instead of just notes. The classroom feels like a good place to be.
I know they care about me because they check on how I’m doing and encourage me when I’m having a hard time. They tell me they believe in me and that mistakes are okay.
They make me a better and more confident student by pushing me to try my best and speak up in class. They have supported me by giving me extra help with work and cheering me on in the things I do outside of class.
