Sharing Student Work

Chase Schrenk 


      In the year 1980, my mom was in 6th grade. She also went to Lynnwood Elementary School, the same as me. Her favorite teacher was Ms. Wyatt. Ms. Wyatt’s classroom was close to the upper playground. Her teacher would leave the classroom door open for fresh air to come in. Her fondest memory was winning the Keep Washington Green Poster Contest.

      I interviewed my grandma Sorensen. When she was in 4th grade the year was 1931.  There were 25 to 30 students in the class. There was only one teacher for each grade. My grandma went to school in Clarkston Washington.  The name of her school was Webster Grade School. My grandma told me that her worst memory was she was in line and someone fell and scraped his knee really deeply. Blood was pouring out everywhere and she fainted! One of her good memories was that she use to have to walk one mile to the bus stop, and now only 9 blocks.

      I interviewed my mom, Jennifer Pel. In k-2nd grade my mom went to a French Catholic school in Quebec, Canada.  All the desks were lined up in rows except for in Kindergarten. Most of the day everyone had to sit quietly and learn there subjects. If someone didn’t behave their hands would be slapped with a ruler. The building was huge, well-kept, and made of brick. All the subjects were the same but they were learned in French. Her family spoke English so the very 1st week of kindergarten she had to look at someone else’s paper. The teachers were nuns that wore black and white. They worked together in a group and the over all level was higher then in an English school.

      In grades 3 through 7 my mom went to an American school.  This school was in Vermont of the United States, on a small island. The whole school only had 3 classrooms. There were only 6 people in one grade. Still these classrooms were much louder then her other school. Her teacher Mrs. Potter was like Ms. Frizzle, doing experiments and games everyday, also arts and cooking. You could work at your own speed; you could go 2 or even 3 grade levels ahead so you would never be bored. The school was smaller so P.E., Music and Lunch were all in the gym. In the gym there was a small room with no roof that was the library so if a ball was hit too hard then it might end up hitting a book in the library
