Gettin’ Groovy with Mrs. Gleave

What is Mrs. Gleave like? What subject does she teach? What does she like to do? Most of the students think that teachers don’t do anything or don’t have a life besides teaching. Well those students are wrong! Mrs. Gleave has a very neat personality. “I think what makes Mrs. Gleave a very good math teacher is that if someone has a question she will answer it and explain it fully,” said Ben Stewart, a ninth grader, at SJHS. 

Mrs. Gleave said, “I had an really old math teacher and I swear we had the same assignment every day. And I always thought there has to be a more interesting way to teach this. So I decided that I wanted to make it a lot more fun for the students.” Students said many things about Mrs. Gleave, for instance: She’s way funny, fun to be around, she is nice, she has a good sense of humor, and if you are having a bad day she can cheer you up in a second. “One thing that I really like is that if we have a day that we can do assignments, once we get the assignment done we can chat with our friends,”said Brienna Bernardi, a ninth grader at SJHS. 

Mr. Mikesell, the dean of students at SJHS, said, “Mrs. Gleave teaches things in ways that students can easily relate to.  She makes it real for them.” There are a lot of students who love the way she teaches. Ben Stewart said, “When something doesn’t make sense all you have to do is raise your hand and she will explain it fully to the whole class again.”  Ms. Hamilton, a teacher at SJHS, said, “She is very organized! I have learned a lot from her.” A lot of students think that Mrs. Gleave is really cool, so try and get to know her, it won’t be a mistake.
