How would you show your appreciation to your teacher?

Editor’s Note: As part of celebrations of National Teacher Appreciation Week, the Saipan Tribune will be publishing this week unedited essays by students from different CNMI public schools expressing their love and appreciation for their teachers. The project is spearheaded by Dandan Elementary School principal Jonas Barcinas. The following are essays submitted by students of the Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary School and some of their parents.

I can show appreciation to my teacher by following the class rules that are given, paying attention on what the teacher does, and showing appreciation to what we’re doing.

Our teachers are like our second parents. They help us to become smart and better person.

I show my appreciation to my teachers at G.T.C. by paying respect to them and obeying their rules. Also, by being a good student and a good citizen.

By doing so, I can make my teachers happy and proud of me.

Well, I would show appreciation to my teacher by respecting her. We should start helping teachers in what they do. We should start thanking teachers for buying supplies we need and teaching us even though we don’t want to. They make sure, we have enough of something. They work hard in everything, so let’s appreciate that. You can appreciate your teachers by giving gifts or giving more kindness and respect. Thank you to all the teachers!
