I Am A Dedicated Teacher
Deborah Berry
I am a dedicated teacher
I wonder about the world around me
I hear life whisper its secrets
I see the curiosity in their eyes
I want to make a difference
I am a dedicated teacher
I don't pretend to know all the answers
I feel the pressure of time
I touch my student's lives and they touch mine
I worry about their future
I cry when it doesn't look bright
I am a dedicated teacher
I understand that it isn't always easy
I say, " Just give it a try"
I dream of them at night
I try to teach the reason
I hope they understand the whys
I am a decdicated teacher

Class Notes
Can you believe the year is nearly over! The kids have come so far and are ready to be fourth graders. You and your child have a great opportunity to get back at me for all that homework, as I will be doing my time in the dunk tank at the Spring Carnival at 2:15 at Schaefer Elementary. Hope to see you there. » read more...

masks 2008
Throughout history the environment in which people live has influenced what they eat, the type of homes they build, their clothing, culture, music and art. My students used materials found in the natural world to decorate their own plaster masks. The results were quite stunning. Feel free to take a peek. » read more...
