Teacher Appreciation: Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Crowley

Only now can I fully appreciate how full this teaching tandems plate was. The two women taught a combined array of a full fourth and fifth class each. Four full classes between two teachers. Not to mention the fact that fourth and fifth grade students are typically at the age at which they begin to blossom into the mischievous troublemakers that children can be.

Despite dealing with a burden I would not wish on my worst enemy, the two women showed up every day with relentless energy and an ability to command our attention that is almost unprecedented. Always keeping things structured, yet interesting, they were able to split us all up and combine interchangeably with positive results either way.

I look at those two years as undoubtedly my favorite elementary school years, and possibly my favorite from K-8. Having so many children in one room, large as it was, made every day interesting. Our combined setup was the envy of the school. This is completely due to the dedication of our two teachers. They never showed the stress that obviously accompanied their job. Instead, they pushed one with the activities and gave us the best two elementary school years possible.

Thank you both for your hard work and love of teaching!
