My First Year Teaching – 20 years ago! First Period: Seventh Grade Math At the end of the year students were asked to write a letter to their ‘favorite teacher’. Here are a couple of comments taken from the letters that students wrote to me. ME ! • Miss Beyer is my favorite teacher because … • we share things like cookies. – Latasha • because you are kind of easy. – Shay • when we finish our work she lets us talk. – Anonymous • I have friends in our class. – Anonymous • she lets you go to the bathroom and the nurse if you really need • to go. – Terrance • she is really nice, smart, fun, intelligent, reliable person. – Cathy • sometimes [she] can be a little crazy. – Sharina • you do more than [do your job] you take interest in your students. I think • the reason is because you have confidence in me. – Amanda Memories – Begin Collecting
