The teacher's name was Mrs. Kempczinski and she made sure that her students knew how to spell it. Her students practiced and practiced so they would get it right. Mrs. K loved to travel so she hung photographs all over the classroom to show the students that they were their own explorers. She made her classroom fun and full of activities, the students loved her. The teacher then told her children she had cancer and that she had to leave for a little while. The children were sad because the substitute did not know all the cool things Mrs. K did. On the last day of class Mrs. K came back and told her students how proud she was of them. This story teaches the students that now matter how large the obstacle, If you work together you can achieve anything. It can also be sued to show multiculturalism because you can talk about all of the cool things Mrs. K showed. This could be a sad story, but you have to make it out to soon as thought she just overcame a rock in the road.
