4th grade was awesome

My favorite teacher throughout my school history were two teachers! They would team teacher which means they both taught the same class room. Mrs Franco was an older teacher, she was a very sweet woman who had a a family with kids a lot older than us. Being in 4th grade and having a teacher that sweet and kind was a blessing. Mrs Franco had a mother like gentleness and she would always comfort us when we had trouble or felt sad. I remember on September 11th when we all ask what happened she began to cry and aid that one of her Grandmother died. Her grandma didn't actually die, but she just didn't know how to tell a bunch of eight and nine year olds that our country was under attack. My other teacher Mrs Stringer was exactly like Mrs Franco only a little but younger. She also had that mother like kindness about her. She and Mrs Franco made learning interesting and got into reading. My friend Brad and I would always attempt to goof around in there class and they would always find assignments that would calm me and Brad down. I remember this one project we did that was a big play about the history of Thanksgiving. I was a goofy kid but I hated rehearsing lines for people because I always thought I'd get a word wrong. Mrs Franco and Mrs Stringer gave me a a part that was very comfortable for me and that made me and every other kid in my class feel like they were a star of the play. It was very successful they kept on pushing us to do our bets and we did. There was a point where I loved going to school because 4th grade was such great year full of friends and great memories.

  1. Danny I can remember september 11th they didn't tell any of us about what happened that day. It sounds like you had great teachers in fourth grade. Its always cool when you get to learn something from a teacher that you are able to keep with you for the rest of your life.

  2. Thats great that you had good teachers to encourage you through 4th grade. I think your teacher was clever in averting the subject of 9-11. Cool story.

  3. Trust me you are lucky that you had a good teacher on 9-11. That day was my birthday and my fourth grade teacher didn't handle it nearly as well.
