My Favorite Grade School Teacher By: Amber Wise My favorite grade school teacher was Mrs. Cantrell. She was my fifth grade teacher at Davis Elementary School in Southampton, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Cantrell was a tall, thin women with red hair to her shoulders and bluish gray eyes. She was a great teacher because she didn't play favorites, everything was fair for everyone, she had fun activities, and she believed in me.Mrs. Cantrell always had fun activities for us. Each week she would pick two people to take attendance, read what was for lunch, and read the announcements. Then every other day ...view middle of the document...
We relived that time period and did many different activities such as broom making, toy making, paper making, and apple head dolls.Mrs. Cantrell was not one of those teachers who played favorites. She was always nice to everyone and was always fair about things. If she needed something from the office, she wouldn't ask the people she thought were the most trust worthy, she would choose anyone to go. She never showed that she liked someone more then anyone else.The thing I liked most about Mrs. Cantrell was that she believed in me. I was never very good at math, so on certain days she would send me and a few other kids with a teacher that would work with us on math. Mrs. Cantrell knew that I could do it, but I just needed more help to understand. Then the next day, when we went over our math homework, I would always raise my hand to answer questions and Mrs. Cantrell would say, "I have to call on Amber because I know she knows the answer." That always made me feel really good about myself.Mrs. Cantrell was a great teacher. She was never mean unless someone did something wrong, never played favorites, and always had fun activities. She also never gave too much homework during the week. Mrs. Cantrell was so nice that every time I got the chance I would go back to visit her. I even went to visit her when she was pregnant just because she was my favorite teacher.
