Mr. Haynes
Written by: Aralyn Pate (5th grade)
My favorite teacher is Mr. Haynes at Deer Park Elementary school because he had helped me through a lot. When l was feeling sad and struggling with math and science, he led me through it step by step, and asked me if l was ok when l didn’t feel good. He just noticed the small things and that’s what matters most to me.
Sometimes if l wasn’t feeling myself, he would make me feel better. When l went into his room sad, l would come out with a smile on my face. Even writing this makes me smile. Even though I’m not at that school anymore, it doesn’t mean l forgot or don’t miss him anymore.
He was a really funny teacher too. He would stand on desk and be really funny. Every student loved him there. I felt cared for and believed in myself when l was with him. He made my math skills really strong.
Mrs. Palmiter
Written by: Kaelyn Reeder (5th grade)
A teacher I will never forget is Mrs. P. Here are three reasons why. One reason is because she will scare you when she is making up some stories at the end of class, and when it’s closer to Halloween it’s kind of scary. Another reason is that she is scary (not in the way the story is scary… but her). My last reason is that she does not care if you are crying even if you are just a kid. With it all summed up, I will never forget her because she will scare you with some scary stories and it makes you remember times being with her.
Mrs. Lamb
Written by: Harper Carrico (5th grade)
There are many teachers I’ve liked in the past, but if I had to choose a favorite, my current teacher, Mrs. Lamb, would be the best. One of the many reasons is that she is inspiring. Mrs. Lamb always uses her past mistakes to help my class and me learn. When I’m older, I want to be more like her. Another reason is that she tries to push our class to do our best. She makes everyone take accountability for their own work, which I think will help the future. She never lets just one person take all of the responsibility while working with partners, which helps me learn and get to know more about my friends. This makes me want to work my hardest. My third reason is that I feel safe around her. I know that if I ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable, I could tell Mrs. Lamb. I also know that some of my friends have told her about how they would want to change something that is important or personal to them, and she has been supportive every time. Finally, my last reason is that Mrs. Lamb’s personality is the best! She can always be funny and at other times be serious. She is so good at teaching while also being kind, which is very impressive. I admire how witty she can be to make an entire class laugh, and then get them to focus. Mrs. Lamb is my favorite teacher for these reasons, which I think make her an awesome teacher. She helps me learn faster and encourages me to work more, and when I’m older, I’m gonna try to take more accountability for my actions and do the best I can.
Mrs. Millay
Written by: Aurora James (5th grade)
Have you ever been in a classroom where you felt that you belonged? Well I feel that way in my school, East View Elementary. I’m in fifth grade, and there are many teachers in the school. But the one teacher that is amazing and extraordinary that I will never forget is Mrs. Millay! I chose Mrs. MIllay because she is kind, thoughtful, and does a great job teaching me and my other classmates.
Mrs. Millay is very nice when it comes to teaching and almost never raises her voice. At the start of the school year, when I had a bad day, she cheered me up a lot. She is kind to all students in and out of the classroom, also to students that are in the grades below fifth grade. She is very kind overall.
Mrs. Millay is very understanding and thoughtful to students and starts conversations with them. When a student has a problem and comes to her, she listens to the whole story. One time, when I complemented her, she complemented me back, returning the respect I gave her. She is very skilled at helping others when they need help.
Mrs. Millay does a very excellent job at teaching reading and makes it to where all students understand. She doesn’t just teach, she connects with everyone positively. I think she is better than most at her job and explains everything down to the point. She is very respectful and calm when a student doesn’t understand something.
As I said in the beginning, I’m in fifth grade, there are many many teachers in my school, but I think Mrs. Millay is the most compassionate and respectful teacher, so that’s why I chose her as the teacher that I will never forget!
Mrs. Tipmore
Written by: Gracie Mansfield (5th grade)
A teacher I will never forget would most definitely be Mrs.Tipmore. She made me feel special in every way possible. She made everyone else’s mood lighten up too! Her personality is so bubbly, and she has such a kind heart like if she walked in a room, she is like the light and everyone loves her which is no surprise. She made me feel better on my bad days and when I’m down she will cheer me up with her cheerful voice! When my little sister passed away sadly, Mrs. Tipmore would make sure she checked on me everyday to make sure I was okay. When I wasn’t okay that day, she would let me sit outside the hall and calm down or I would go see the guidance counselor, and he would help a lot too.
Mrs. Tipmore was my 1st grade teacher, andI could never repay her for everything she did for me. Even if someone got in trouble, she would still be really kind. She has that motherly instinct where she is just so understanding and sweet. I could never forget her. She helped me out with so many things that have gotten me here today writing this letter about her. She is truly a kind-hearted person.
Mrs. Sally
Written by: Reagan Durham (5th grade)
A teacher I’ll never forget is my preschool teacher, Mrs. Sally. She is also a family friend, so I still get to see her often. She is very loving. She always brightens the room, leads in Christianity, and is so helpful. She is always there when you need her. She loves Jesus, and loves like him too!
In preschool, when I didn’t feel good she would let me sit in the timeout corner. Not because I was in trouble, but because I didn’t feel good and when I felt better I could go play. Now, when I go to her house she always has activities planned. We watch movies and her dog likes to play with me. I love it when I get to go to church with her. It’s always so fun. I love to hang out with her husband and her granddaughters. It’s always an awesome time. When she comes to our house and watches us she always plays games with us and colors and does all types of things.
She will take me to my basketball practices happily when no one else can. She’s always there when me, my dad, my mom, and my sister need something, even all the teachers. Mrs. Sally will always be my favorite teacher!
