Why We Love Sir Mon?

Teachers love every student in their class, even the ones that are hard to love and hard to be loved. Teachers are always there when we need them. They always give their time and effort just to fulfill their part. A great brother, father, grandfather, uncle, friend and teacher is none other than Sir Mon. His name is Monlouie Sorzano.

Why We Love Sir Mon?

Aside from being handsome and cute boy, he is also understanding and kind. We are so thankful that he's our teacher. Even if sometimes we are hard-headed students he is still longing his patience, so that we will not be  hurt. Thank you for all your efforts sir. Sorry for all the pain you suffered, and I hope that you will be good through the years.

We love Sir Mon because he is understanding.
He is kind.
He is Ka-look-alike ni Jackie Chan.
He's very cute.
He is always thanking us.
He is always teaching us new lessons.
He is believing us.
Honesty is very important  for him.

It’s Not that Simple

“You get a break,” they say
“Teaching is not so hard.”
“It must be nice to have time off.”
But it just is not that simple
It’s really not that easy

Nothing is that easy

Time and rest are not the same
Either are jobs and passions
Work can be more than just work
And time off means more too
Time can also be a little space

Teachers need room to breathe

Teaching is more than working
So much more than what we do
It is our life and our heart
It is our mind and instinct
Teaching’s in our blood

Teaching make us who we are

Our stress is not our stress
Our work is not our work
Our time is not our time
Our passions are not our passions
And our lives are not our lives

We live and work for more

No human can sustain this
No one can live only for others
No person can do this forever
The momentum can destroy
And the inertia can tear apart

One must come to a rest

Rest means space and room
Rest means time to breathe
Rest means remembering who we are
Time is recharging and returning
Time is finding ourselves again

We must be able to heal

So yes, it does seem nice
It looks like a little vacation
But it really is not that simple
It is more and it is vital
It is the only way we can keep going

Students need us to breathe

Here are my top 10 reasons for being so grateful for our teachers every single day!

1. They make our scholars feel so loved when they greet them with a hug or a handshake every morning.
2. They are not just teachers; they transform into scientists, mathematicians, poets, historians, artists, dancers, athletes, and so much more each and every day. The talents of our teachers go far beyond what anyone would expect.
3. They are the most patient people in this world. Have you ever tried to get 30 kindergartners into their winter gear at the end of a busy day, or worked side by side with that sixth grader for hours until that difficult math concept finally clicks? Patience is a core competency for all our teachers.
4. Our teachers are funny! They know that joy and silliness are an important part of every school day. They love to dress up for Spirit Day and Halloween, and they don’t mind getting pie’d in the face or being dunked in water by our scholars.
5. They are learners who study and prepare, day in and day out, with the end goal in mind. Our teachers know that college graduation is in reach for all our scholars. They spend hours learning to become better teachers and preparing lessons that not only engage the whole class, but are tailored to meet the many varied needs of individual scholars.
6. They invest families in their scholar’s education and work side by side with them to ensure their scholars are successful. Whether it’s sharing feedback on scholar writing through a Google Doc or snapping a photo of a child’s A+ work during the day, the communication is frequent and the partnership is strong.
7. They collaborate as part of a community of teachers and leaders, both in their school and across the network. They understand the value of team and know that we are all working toward the same goals. Teachers often visit one another’s classrooms to learn best practices or give feedback peer to peer. Teachers plan together, study student work together, and problem solve together every single day.
8. They go out of their way to make learning engaging. From trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Botanical Gardens, to 3-D Google Glasses that take our scholars around the world, to heated debates about current events, to hands-on science experiments — our teachers give scholars access to a wide variety of experiences and make learning fun.
9. They are teacher activists. They rally and march for educational equity for all schools and children in New York and around our country.
10. Most of all, they love teaching and they love our scholars. That is the single most important thing we can do for our kids — give them a warm, loving environment in which they can flourish and grow. Our teachers do just that.

I hope that you will never forget us. All the memories that we shared as one class. We are one family, and  I wish that you will never regret the first day of introducing yourself to us. You are the type of person that is very calm and I can say that you want things to be right. You're always considerate and humble to us. I believe that all students like you, love you and respect you. I know that this is not the last moment our class, Stem-Sorzano / Stem-Triton will meet and share happy thoughts. You will be always here in our mind and heart.

Thank You Sir Mon!
