Adela Grimm, 8

Mrs. Brady in first grade is my favorite teacher.
She is really nice and thoughtful.
The most fun thing she did was make tissue paper flowers with us.
When someone gets hurt inside, she hurts in the inside. I love her so much.
She made me less scared by how she comforted me.

Annika Vogl, 10
Rochester, N.Y.

The best teacher I’ve had is Mr. Conway because he loves to read books to my class.
He is also a great teacher because he lets us help him sell popcorn to the school and he lets us have
extra recess or “end of the day” recess.
And most of all because he is cool and he is nice.
That is why Mr. Conway is the best teacher I’ve ever had.

Find the October writing prompt in the “Just for Kids” section of our October issue. The deadline to enter is October 15. Happy writing!
