To this day when I read in my head, its at her pace with her voice and rhythm! Funny huh?
But the best of all was my fifth grade science teacher! Mr. Bohan!!!! For starters... I had a huge crush on him... And not because he was super dreamy. He was a good looking guy, not hot or anything, but ok. but the reason I sat and stared and clung to every word he said was..... because he was sooooo smart! And everything he said was so interesting! And he was just so darned excited about everything he was telling me! Yes, he directed each and every lesson at me! (at least that's what I thought, or liked to believe!  ) I never learned so much or was so excited about learning! His demonstrations were wild and his passion was obvious, he LOVED his job! It showed in every assignment he gave out and every pop quiz he gave... Mostly oral, cause he wanted to participate! lol He was the best!!!! Science was never so exciting and to this day I can't help but stop on a web page or TV show and think about how he could have presented it better! lol |
OMGosh!!! I'm an idiot!!! Mr Bohan was my SIXTH grade sicence teacher! you don't even have science as a "class" as a fifth grader.... lolololol
And Megan... its totally Amazing how its the middle school teachers that left their mark on me the most.... Sure I remember my highschool teachers, but its the middle school teachers that really seemed to stick.... Or maybe thats when I was most open to impression??? Who knows??
Your avitar... I copied it a while back and I swear I emailed it to everyone I know with the message that it was some YT members Picture and went on and on about how I thought it was the funniest thing I have ever seen! How simple an answer is that! I love it! It really says everything I could have ever said about Math! ugh!
