My most memorable teacher
My most memorable teacher was my 4th grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Leale. She was very sweet, spoke to us like we were people, and planned fun activities for us. I remember my friend was in another class and her class did not do this major art project. My class did. We got to build totem poles as part of our Native American unit. Mrs. Leale also helped me get organized. I try to pay this forward by helping my students stay/get organized as well. Mrs. Leale passed away a few years ago of cancer. I see her daughter sometimes around town and always say hello. When she told me that her mother had passed, I made a point to tell her how much I appreciated her mom and what a great teacher she was.
