Favorite Teacher

When thinking about favorite teachers, there are two that come to mind. My grade three teacher, Mrs. Steppan and my high school AP calculus teacher, Mrs. McCrae. Both went way above and beyond what their job description and made my days with them awesome! 

I remember getting the chicken pox in grade three and Mrs. Steppan would send home homework with my sister everyday for me. She always had a Calvin & Hobbes or Dennis the Menace cartoon attached to it that was about chicken pox with a little note from her. It made my day! I still have those cartoons and notes.

Mrs. McCrae was very fun. She had these little rhymes and songs she would sing to us to help us remember the rules for our math. She made learning fun. She also had little "study parties" (as she called them) on Sunday nights. We would all go to her house and work on homework and she would make cookies and juice for us.

I think these two ladies were my favorite teachers because they took the time to get to know me personally and helped me as much as they could because they wanted me to excel. I still keep in contact with them today, and am hoping to do one of my student-teaching placements with them. :)
