Hello Mr. H

I was in your Wednesday Algebra1 class this year. Thank you so much for being such an amazing teacher! Math use to be my least favorite subject, but now I actually enjoy math. Your classes were really fun and you explained everything really clearly. I really enjoyed having you as my teacher and I will be in your geometry class next year.

Have an awesome summer!

Hello Mrs. C This is Jeshua R. from your Algebra 1 class. I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me. Although you rarely saw my face because my camera was off, I often smiled during your class because of your positiveness, and how you always seemed joyful to teach us all. You are one of my favorite teachers I've had because of that.  This year with you as my teacher up to this point I have had the best math grades I've ever had, and I feel as though you had a great deal in my grades just by being positive and making math enjoyable for me. I also wanted to thank you for teaching us at our pace, always asking us how we were doing, and stopping for people, and explaining concepts to anyone who needed help. I am very glad that you were my math teacher this year, and I just felt the need to tell you how much I appreciated your teaching. Have a great Summer. Thank You, Mrs. C.

From, Jeshua
