We Love Our Teachers

The second week in May is designated in many countries as “Teacher Appreciation Week.” We are so grateful for our teachers at Dalat and their dedication to impacting the lives of our students. This week, I asked a number of students what they appreciate about their teachers. These are quotes from students in their own words.

“I like that my teachers help me at class when I don’t know what the word is.” Liliian, P4

“I like them because they tie my hair nicely.” Aubrey, Grade K

“They really teach me a lot of stuff that I didn’t know, and they are really kind.” Preston, Grade 1

“I like it when they do fun things for math like cup stacking.” Abraham, Grade 2

“I appreciate that they take time on us and don’t give up on us.” Katherine, Grade 3
