Today was the first day of school, and I got to 

meet my teacher, Miss Bradley! She is so nice. 

We spent most of the day playing get-to-know-

you games, and at the end of the day she told 

us about her life. She told us about what she 

was like when she was in fourth grade and the 

lessons she has learned throughout the years. 

Every day for the first month of school, a 

student in our class is going to tell his/her 

story. I cannot wait to get to know my 

classmates!

Today Miss Bradley gave a lesson about the 

book The Westing Game. She really knew what 

she was talking about because she took a class 

called Children's Literature in college. In that 

class, Ellen Raskin, the author of The Westing 

Game, was a guest lecturer. Miss Bradley 

definitely knew the content of that book and 

what we would get out of it as fourth graders. 

My new favorite 

book thanks to 

Miss Bradley!

I feel like Miss Bradley is always happy. I did 

not think it was humanly possible to always be 

happy, but she seems to prove that it is! She is 

such a great teacher and can always help me 

when I do not understand the topic. For 

example, I was really struggling with my times 

tables, but she tutored me for thirty minutes 

after school twice a week. Now I understand! 

I know them now!

My favorite thing about Miss Bradley is that 

she teaches the lesson and then gives us an 

assignment on which to work. Then she walks 

around to each student individually and asks if 

he/she has questions. If someone does, she 

does her best to explain it in a way that he/she 

would understand. One time she related a 

topic to my friend Tim's Chinese culture. He 

then understood the point of the lesson. 

Miss Bradley related a class topic to the Great 

Wall of China to help my friend Tim.

This week has been very rough for me 

emotionally. My best friend moved to a new 

city on Saturday, and my grandmother died on 

Wednesday. I miss them both so incredibly 

much, and I have not been able to turn in my 

school assignments on time. Miss Bradley 

noticed I was having a rough time, and she 

asked me to see her during recess. I told her 

all that was happening, and we cried together. 

She then gave me extensions on all my 

assignments. I am very thankful she feels my 

emotions.

Yesterday Miss Bradley messed up. Several 

people in the class were talking during a 

lesson, even after she told them to be quiet. 

After about three requests, she started yelling 

and said that they were not respecting her 

authority. The episode scared the rest of the 

class. Today she apologized for yelling and told 

us that she loved us but that we really need to 

listen to what she says. I respect her so much.

Miss Bradley is so cool. Today she told us 

about how she went to five different teaching 

conferences over winter break so that she 

could learn how to teach us better. I want to 

continue learning throughout my life, just as 

she is.
