Dear Teacher-to-Be

I heard you want to be a teacher. That's great. You knew we needed really good teachers. Well, hi! My name is Alejandra and I'm in the fifth grade. I also heard you were going to be a technology teacher.I love technology. It's really interesting. I wanted to give you some tips on being a teacher that I learned from my former teachers.

When you teach you have to be prepared which means to know what to do. You got to teach smart things. But you have to think what your students need help on or what they don't know. You have to get along with them. For example, you should know what they can do and can't do. I have a 5th grade teacher who knows all those things. She knows her students very well, She gets along with them and she teaches very well. You could teach with things that interest them. For example when I started 5th grade I thought I as going to be bored but Mrs. Mateling started making  prizes for good grades. You could try that. I'm not saying you stink or anything I am just trying for you to make your teaching better.

Alejandra,
Thank you for your great advice. You brought up a lot of great tips and ideas. When I eventually become a teacher, I will definitely remember to think back about the tips you gave and always remember to be prepared! I hope you are enjoying fifth grade, and I am glad you have a teacher that you can look up to!
