My Elementary Years  I loved my elementary years for many reasons. Some of my closest teachers are now my buds! New days in the elementary were always new adventures. The best teachers were the ones who made everything fun. I loved my elementary years for many reasons.

First, some of my closest teachers are now my buds. I don’t have a favorite teacher, but some teachers made better impressions. Mr. Pantzar was one of those teachers, who made one of the best impressions. He was a friend but a teacher. Most of the time he let me sit at his desk and pretend to be the teacher also he would let me write on the white broad because Mr. Pantzar was lazy all the time! Mr. Pantzar was also serious about homework and projects. He would make sure everyone did their projects for Science Fair and Invention Convention, and he would always check homework even if we didn’t have any. Another teacher who made a great impression was Mrs. Kilker. Mrs. Kilker was like another mother to me. She would give me great advice during good times and bad times; also she would compliment me on my work, even if it wasn’t good.

Second, new days in the elementary were always new adventures. What do I mean when I say new adventures? Well, one adventure was our 4th grade field trip to the Lackawanna Coal Mine. I still remember going down the long and steep shaft, and everyone was giggling and frightened at the same time. The dark and narrow pathways were just about the funniest thing on the trip because everyone was saying the black coal road just like the yellow brick road. Another adventure was Science Camp, every so often I’ll remember falling into the stream while doing the stream study, and feeling do free when I fell, like a baby bird taking its first flight.

Finally, the best teachers were the ones who made everything fun. My social studies teacher, Mr. Urbus, would always have a joke or story to tell the class for every lesson. One joke was that he was visiting the Everglades and while he was there he got his finger bitten off by an alligator, while wrestling it. (Cheesy huh….) My 2nd grade teacher, Mr. Bolcavage, said the first day of school, put a baseball cap on tonight. Then put on the same baseball cap on at the end of the school year, and you won’t be able to fit it on your head because you learned so much in 2nd grade. (It was surprising true.)
