My teacher that I was assigned to is Ms. Sara Allen. She is a fifth grade teacher. In Sara Stay Determined: A reflection of a Math Workshop blog post, she emphasize on how being a math teaching works and what works for students. She understand the concept of what work for one class doesn't works for another. You have to change tactics, skills, organization and brainstorms. It's not about giving the students grades for their work but the skills that they need to learn and take with them in the future. It's about challenging there minds to problem solving. What I admired about this post was that she never gave up on the students. She challenge herself to find other solutions so that the students would understand. To grow as a team we have to work together and dream big.

Sara's Open Letter to My Class blog post was about how she doesn't want to leave her students. She expresses how most teacher would love to take vacation, reading novel, and sleeping in. She feels that her students was very special to her and it's hard to say goodbye. Sara reflects on the hard times and fun times that she had shard with her students. She explains that being there teacher has made a big difference in her life. What I love about this post was that she shared with them what she wanted them to remember as they move on to middle school. For example, she states that every person is a human being that deserves dignity and respect. We all never like to say goodbye to our students but we love to let them know how much we care as educators.
