My Very Special Teacher, Miss
Shelley
By: Megan Caudill
When I
was in the 3rd grade at Alquina Elementary, Miss Shelly was my teacher.
She was very nice.
She helped me with math by teaching me to multiply. She told us to
remember 7x7=49 by telling us to remember the football team, The 49er’s.
She liked football. She would tell us about some of the football games
she had gone to. They sounded like fun.
She was a good teacher who loved to teach. She was my favorite teacher.
I will always miss her.
Miss Shelley: A Very Special Teacher
By: Danielle Crist
It all
started when I was nine and in the third grade at Alquina Elementary
School in the year 2001. Miss Shelley was my teacher. Her full name was
Miss Pat Shelley. She was a very special teacher.
She would use awesome ways to teach us. She helped me learn my
multiplication facts by playing games with unifix cubes. This made math
fun to learn.
Miss Shelley was a cheerful lady who always had a smile on her face. She
always made you smile and made you believe in each other and yourself.
Miss Shelley is in all of our hearts. I will always miss her.
A Special Teacher

In the
year 2001, I was in the 3rd grade at Alquina Elementary School. My
teacher was
Miss Shelley.
She wanted me to be the best I could be in all subjects. She was funny
in lots of ways.
I remember when she was 47 years old and she said she was 99. I also
remember the time when she went to blow up a balloon and she popped it
with her teeth on purpose. That made me laugh.
I will miss her very much because she was my favorite teacher.
This school year, 2001-2002, I am in the 3rd grade at Alquina Elementary
School. At the beginning of the year, my teacher was Miss Shelley. She got
sick and passed away. We were all very sad.
Miss Shelley made me feel wonderful by just being herself and showing me
it was ok to be myself.
She was funny. She loved to tell us jokes about her age. She would say she
was 99, but she was really 47. She made us laugh.
Miss Shelley made learning fun. She would give us rewards, like candy,
when we got a 100 on our spelling tests. She loved to play games with us.
She was a wonderful teacher and I will always miss her.
My Teacher, Miss Shelley
By: Taylor Grimes
A couple of months ago, I began
3rd grade. My school is Alquina Elementary. My teacher was Miss Shelley.
She was always nice to me.
She was funny and she liked to tease us. She always said she was
ninety-nine. My
grandpa told me she was really only 47.
I will always remember how loving she was to me. She would always help
me learn. There were 19 students in this class, but she always seemed to
be able to help each one of us in a special way.
I’ll always remember her.
A Very Special Teacher

In 2001, at Alquina Elementary School, I
had a really nice teacher. Her name was Miss
Shelley. She was my 3rd grade teacher.
Miss Shelley cared about me. She wanted me to learn as much as I could.
She always helped me in math. Every time I would ask her a question, she
would help me and made sure I understood.
I think I am a better student and try harder
because of Miss Shelley.
I miss her very much.

I met Miss Shelley in
2001. We all met her in the third grade class at Alquina Elementary.
Miss Shelley helped me to learn all subjects. She taught me how to do
better in math. She would stay after school with me and practice math.
She taught me how to carry numbers when adding.
Miss Shelley was a great teacher. She was nice and I liked her
jokes. She would often joke about her age. This made me laugh.
I will always remember Miss Shelley.
Miss Shelley
By: Travis Lynch
Six months ago, I
entered 3rd grade at Alquina Elementary School. My teacher was Miss
Shelley.
Miss Shelley was a wonderful teacher.
Miss Shelley noticed that I had a hard time in math. She helped me by
doing extra math with me and would stay after school and would have me
work extra problems.
That helped me understand math better. I think I am doing much better in
math because she helped me. I have even passed all of my multiplication
facts.
Miss Shelley was great. I am glad she was my teacher.

My name is Brooklyn. I
am a third grader at Alquina Elementary School. My teacher was Miss
Shelley. She was a pretty lady and an awesome teacher. I liked being in
her class because she made learning fun. She let us watch videos
sometimes.
Her favorite thing to do was to read books to us. She read books that
were scary, funny, sad, and angry. She helped me in math by teaching me
addition and subtraction. She made writing fun. I think she made me a
better writer. I liked it when she would test me on how old I thought
she was.
The best thing I remember about her is how much I love her.

Hello! My name is
Samantha McFarland and I am in the 3rd grade. I go to school at Alquina
Elementary. My teacher was Miss Shelley.
Miss Shelley was a funny teacher. She made jokes about being 99 years
old and she made everyone happy. I liked to hear her laugh because it
was a funny laugh. When she would laugh, I would laugh too. This made me
feel happy.
She always helped me with handwriting and math. Because of her help, I
write neater and I am better at math.
She was the best teacher ever and I miss her.
A Special Teacher
By: Mitchell Miles
When I was at Alquina
Elementary School in the third grade, I had a very special teacher. Her
name was Miss Shelley.
She was a very nice teacher. She helped me in math. She would shorten
assignments so it would not take me so long to finish.
She was also funny. She said she was 99 because she did not want
to tell us what her real age was. But I know she was really very
young.
I miss her very much and will always remember her for the nice teacher
she was.
A Super-Duper Teacher
By: Devin Scott
When I was in the third
grade at Alquina Elementary, Miss Shelley was my teacher.
She was very nice and lovable. She was nice because whenever I did a
good job, she would pat me on the back and tell me that I did a good
job. This made me feel nice and warm inside.
The best thing I liked about her was her laugh and her jokes. Sometimes
she said she was very old. She would say this to make us laugh and it
worked. We would all laugh a lot when she told us her make-believe age.
Miss Shelley was a one of a kind teacher and I loved her.

The Teacher I Knew
Through Grandma’s Memories
By: Brooke Smith
In March of 2002, I
moved to a house near Alquina School. My mother had been home schooling
me, but now I would go to school at Alquina Elementary. We had been
planning the move for a long time. When we first thought we were going
to move, my mom was excited that I would have Miss Shelley as a teacher
because she had had her as a 1st and 3rd grade teacher.
My mom said Miss Shelley was her favorite teacher. I never had a chance
to meet her because when I did finally come to school here, she was no
longer here.
I know Miss Shelley through my grandmother’s stories. My grandmother has
been a teacher at Alquina School for a long time and taught with Miss
Shelley. She was my grandmother’s best friend. My grandmother’s name is
Jan Smith. She talked about Miss Shelley all the time. She thinks the
world of her.
I wish I had had the chance to meet Miss Shelley.
