Educator Of The Week

LEARNING BEGINS --- WITH A CHILD WHEN THEY ARE BORN......LEARNING TO WALK AND TALK.
THE VALUBLE LESSONS OF LIFE --- ARE MORE THAN LIKELY TAUGHT TO US BY OUR PARENTS.
BUT AT A POINT IN EVERY CHILD'S LIFE...THAT RESPONSIBILITY IS PASSED ON TO A TEACHER. CONTINUING TO GUIDE A CHILD DOWN THE PATH OF LIFE.
AND SOME OF THOSE TEACHERS LEAVE LESSONS THAT LAST FOR A LIFETIME. AND THAT DESCRIBES 2ND GRADE EDUCATOR TERRY KRUEGER OF MISSION VALLEY ELEMENTARY. TEACHER TERRY KRUEGER IS CHALLENGING HER 2ND GRADERS TO BE INTERESTED IN READING. SHE IS HELPING TO BUILD A STRONG VOCABULARY WITH HER STUDENTS, TEACHING THEM NEW WORDS, THEN HAVING HER STUDENTS WRITE SENTENCES WITH THOSE WORDS. " I just like to see them learn, because they are like sponges. They love to learn, and that's what it's all about. Just watching kids eyes." Terry Krueger/Educator Of The Week. <" I was having some trouble reading, but then she helped me with some of the words, and now I know them. Now I can read a lot better.">Gabriella Menachacha\Student
<"She helps us a lot and she waits for our questions, and she's really patient.">Raven Aguirre\Student
<"Because she's the nicest teacher I've ever had this year.">Logan Gisler\Student
WITH 37 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING, MISS KRUEGER KNOWS THE VALUE OF ENCOURAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM. SHE OFTEN USES A BUDDY SYSTEM WITH STUDENTS WHO ARE STRONG IN ACADEMICS, PARING THEM WITH STUDENTS WHO MAY BE STRUGGLING. SHE SAYS THAT IN MOST CASES, IT BUILDS A STRONG BOND BETWEEN BOTH STUDENTS.
<"All children learn at different rates, different speeds, different levels, and I just like to see the sparkle in their eyes, and that's why I've been teaching.">Terry Krueger\Educator Of The Week<"Miss Krueger, you're the best teacher in the world, because you teach us a lot of things for when we grow up. Thank You.">Garrett Dornak\Student
AND THAT SAME FONDNESS, IS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS FOR THESE 2ND GRADE STUDENTS ABOUT TEACHER TERRY KRUEGER.
