What makes Mrs. Kleeman an awesome teacher is she really helps you understand what she wants you to do. What made me excited to go to class is she had fun assignments. How I know she cares is because if you're lost she helps you. She will give you compliments to boost your self-esteem. If you ask for help in the classroom she will help you outside if you ask a question to help understand an assignment that's due.

Director May is awesome because they know how to make any moment funny or fun. They are the band teacher at Westland and they know how to get an student motivated to play their instrument. They have earned us and past students countless rewards. When we walk into class we're always excited to laugh for once. They let us know that they care about us by offering to help after school, or set us up for private lessons. Director May makes everyone feel comfortable and sees any potential that might exist in students. Best teacher ever.

Mr. McHenry is a very chill and easy going teacher. If you are ever struggling or going through a hard time he is very empathetic to accept late work and help you understand the course that you are taking. He never makes you feel less or not smart when asking a question that may have you feel as though it is a dumb question. He always tries to make this boring class not that boring. I really feel like I learned a lot that I need to know especially as a woman who wants to know business and understands to be a lot smarter in the choices I make in life. Women need to understand business and be financially independent. He is exceeds making sure all of us understand and he cares about his students that are need in help outside and inside the classroom.

Director May is really good with everything that has to do with encouragement. Even when they are annoyed or irritated with students, they never put anyone down or raise their voice. They only focus on the best ways to help us improve on our instruments or reading music. They make me feel more confident when I'm playing because they will pinpoint your weakness and make it a strength. If I'm confused about a note or a rhythm, they notice it even if I'm too scared to ask and help me get clarity. I've gotten more comfortable asking for help and I always look forward to band class because it's positive and they help us create good music. After concerts they always wait with me until my ride comes and they congratulate me. It's really easy to have a conversation with them and I don't know where I'd be without Director May.

Mrs. Monroe is an awesome teacher because she makes learning fun. She would have daily questions for us to answer. After that we would do fun activities. Whenever a quiz was coming up she would play review games with us. Once during our microscope unit she pricked herself and bled for us to look at. She makes nice comments about us and talks us through our problems. Every chance she can she tells us about fun opportunities, inside and outside of school. She even helps run our 7th grade camping trip.
