WHAT DO YOU LOVE BEST ABOUT THE GRADE(S) YOU TEACH?
I guess one of the things I like best about the grades I teach (2 nd and 3 rd ) is that the children are young enough to be eager to learn. Many subjects are still new to them, and they seem to soak in any information. They are also open and honest .

WHAT DO YOU LOVE BEST ABOUT WORKING AT SJS?
I love the feeling of family that promotes the school. I have taught here many years, and it is like my home where children often come back to visit.
