My Hero: Oj Dejonge Middle School

The rooms were inviting, and the students were engaged in learning. I quickly noticed that having a positive, and inviting classroom environment is of upmost importance for successful student learning. As the students walked through the second grade classroom they were greeted with a hug. When the students’ finished their morning work, the chimes signaled the students to line up, and transition to their first class of the day which is Science. This is where I was able to observe both Mrs. Stanford, and Mrs. Taylor

A hero is someone you look up to. Who’s your hero? Who do you look up to? “I love my hero to Neptune and back!” My hero, Tasha Young, came from a poor family, works hard and survived cancer. My hero is the oldest of five kids, she didn’t graduate high school and she was a single parent. My mom, Tasha Young, is my hero.

This year I had the prestigious honor of being in Ms. Brown’s class, and let me tell you, it was anything but normal. Ms. Brown’s cheerfulness (and maybe a bit of messiness) really helped me realize that teachers actually have lives. They’re not just some robots who are only activated to teach, and then turned off when the class leaves, as much as we might think they are.

Starting school was a big problem for me. I had learned that school wasn’t as easy as I thought it was. My fifth grade teacher, Mrs.Chang. Mrs.Chang is not like any other teacher. She gives so much art projects, homework, and classwork that I almost couldn’t even catch up to the class.

Mrs. Buck - I am gonna be honest this is my favorite teacher at Woodward-Granger for couple main reasons. The first day she actually acknowledged that I was a new kid and that I was in your class. Second off she forced me into a play and I really don’t have an option. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just gonna be different. I never thought of myself as an actor. Number three and this is the most important she is very down to earth, funny, and most of all she likes The Office. That’s the most important thing in the world.

She let the students know at the beginning of class what they would be learning, their homework for the night and important dates coming up. She started class every day with a roller-coaster activity where all of the students were required to stand up and wave their arms the way that she did. Of course, there were

I needed it. She pushed me to the fullest even when I did not want to but I am glad she never gave up on

Many people would say that a hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities, like it says in the definition; but to me a hero is also someone to look up to or aspire to be. Heroes have special qualities that make them heroes; they could be inclined in a certain sport you play, or they could have been valedictorian in their high school class. They could have written your favorite book or taught a class in school. Either way, your hero could be anyone. They might be someone you follow on Twitter or Instagram. They could be someone you watch on YouTube, or an author, or an athlete. They’re possibly a famous musician, a cosplayer you really like, one of your teachers, or even your mom or dad.

Growing up as a student I always got along with teachers that had a similar personality to Mrs. Kline. She never yelled and always had a smile on her face but at the same time she was no push over. The students knew not to act up which confused me at first because bad behaved students

My hero is my grandmother because she inspires us to follow our dream. Even though she was diagnosed with cancer, she always encourages us to keep on going. My grandmother moved to the Unites States when she was only twenty-two

She was really hands- on with creating a classroom environment that was suitable for her students. She worked really hard in transforming her classroom into a theorist class. She was very educated and I believe had taught this grade level for sometime. This was a first grade classroom. Twenty plus students, I was astonished how focused they are to their teacher and her teaching. She did not loose their attention even once. As I was this classroom, the teacher used several theories to implement in her classroom; the first one I picked up was the preoperational stage of development based on Piaget theories. She read out-loud to her students and they would sound out all of the verbs in the story she told. I thought this was neat because during this stage, the fixation is on encounters that the students have the capacity to rehearse and in this way learn at their own pace with

Not all heros have supowers. My hero is Emily Irwin. She is one of my good friends at school. She always talks to me and sometimes we play basketball.

One of the things I learned about Mrs. Sandy was that she loved teaching. She made up fun songs and stories to help us memorize formulas. Mrs. Sandy never failed to greet us with a “Hello Doll-baby” or a “Good Morning Darling”. She treated us as her children and loved

Mrs. Newsam is a young teacher that got her degree not long ago, but being in her classroom felt like she was teaching for years. If I could grade her classroom management, she would definitely get a 100 percent. I can definitely see Mrs. Newsam becoming the National Teacher of the Year and representing teachers all across America. All the students in the classroom were very engaged and eager to learn. Her classroom was colorful and decorated to match Dr. Suess. When I entered the classroom the students were working on their letters as a group. Mrs.

“Watch out. She’s in a bad mood again today” sighed Mr. Hodge, who was one of the other 5th grade teachers. Hearing this upon entering my class at the start of school is never a good way to start the day. Especially if your teacher is Mrs. Stewart. It was in the middle of my last year in elementary school, and I was already accustomed to Mrs. Stewart’s tenacity. She pounced on any student when she got the chance, and today was my lucky day.
