#Emma Kalinowski #Mrs. Deal

A heartfelt shout-out goes to Mrs. Deal and Ms. Kalinowski, two remarkable teachers who have made my 8th-grade year an absolute joy. These exceptional educators have truly shown what it means to be a teacher, going beyond mere instruction to create an engaging, supportive, and inspiring learning environment. They care deeply about their students, celebrating achievements and growth while teaching us that anything is possible with dedication and perseverance. I am eternally grateful to have been under the guidance of such compassionate and empowering teachers.

Emma and Brain
Emma Kalinowski and Scott Eckert
They both explained things in a way I could really understand. I’m very thankful for them!
Emma Kalinowski is so funny and kind, and I really love her class. I'm going to miss her bright, happy spirit. Scott Eckert is really upbeat, funny, and motivational. He was so confident and happy even when he lost his kittens/cat.

I choose Mrs. Kindig and Mrs. Kalinowski because they are both fun teachers, and they helped me a lot this year. They did many fun things to make the school year better and enjoyable for the students, and they helped me out a lot.

I have fun in Ms. K’s class; we do a lot of activities, and we get to engage with one another. In Ms. Deal's class, we learn a lot and do fun stuff at the beginning of class.
I love Mrs. Kalinowski’s class because the assignment about Romeo and Juliet was fun, and Mrs. Kalinowski is really sweet. I also really like Ms. Deal’s class because I think science is fun, and every assignment I have done has been enjoyable or easy; Mrs. Deal is very nice.

I loved all my teachers this year, but I'd have to show the most thanks to Ms. Kalinowski and Ms. Deal. These two lovely ladies made online school both extremely fun and insightful. At the beginning of the year, I was very worried that it would be much harder to retain and actually learn what I needed to learn through a screen. However, Ms. Kalinowski and Ms. Deal did a wonderful job of presenting the material in a way that made it interesting and valuable.

I recognize Ms. Deal and Ms. Kalinowski for not rushing students and allowing them time to work and ask any questions.
I shout out Ms. Kalinowski and Ms. Deal! They have made the assignments and lessons much more fun by adding their own twists to them!
I thank Mrs. Kindig for always being able to help me when I need it, and I thank Mrs. Kalinowski for being a fun teacher.

I want to thank Mr. Eckert firstly for the patience he has with his students and for teaching me almost everything. Before coming to HCCA, I struggled in math and couldn't comprehend the fast pace, but as soon as I came here, everything clicked, and now I truly excel and even enjoy math. Not only that, but he takes the time to help students individually, which is not something most would do. Another teacher I would like to thank deeply is Ms. Kalinowski. She has helped me read better, overcome my fear of public speaking, and has made each and every class fun, entertaining, and easy to focus on. I have learned so much from her and enjoyed every class, and for that, I am thankful. Mrs. Deal also deserves a round of applause for the professionalism she displays. Back in around December-January, I had a very serious issue with another student, and she handled it very privately while making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Jones and Ms. Crist (my GSA teacher) for their bubbly and kind personalities, making each and every session a safe, comfortable, and fun place to be. This school year has been amazing due to all the staff members here, but those teachers have stood out the most to me and really made my online school experience memorable, so I thank them sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to recognize Ms. K and Mrs. Deal since they were always giving us time to finish our assignments. They put smiles on many faces, and they always make their classes very fun and something to look forward to.

I would like to shout out Mr. Eckert for encouraging people to do their best in class. Another person I would like to shout out is Mrs. Kalinowski (hopefully I spelled that right); she always brings energy to the class. Last but certainly not least, I would like to shout out Mr. Jones and Mrs. Deal. Mrs. Deal taught me a lot about science; I really enjoyed her class, and Mr. Jones for just being a cool, laid-back teacher.

I would like to shout out Mrs. Deal and Mrs. Kalinowski. I always loved your classes because of how nice you are and the way you made me excited to learn.

I would like to thank Mrs. Deal and Mrs. Kalinowski for always being ready to help anyone and answer any questions that were asked. These ladies are some of the most patient and engaged teachers I've had in my eight years of schooling. I truly appreciate their efforts and passion for their jobs.

I'm so thankful for each and every teacher; they have all been consistent and helpful and shaped me into a better student! All my teachers were funny, which made school more exciting and the day less boring.
