Student Testimonials
"Mrs. McCreadie was an excellent teacher that helped me when I needed help, and laughed with me a lot. I loved how in depth she went with every lesson and how much effort she put into making sure we understood it. She was an interactive teacher that cared about her students and that is why she was such an amazing teacher." |
"Just wanted to say thank you for an awesome year. I wish I could stay in 8th grade English forever, it was a great experience. I will miss you and your great ideas. " |
"Mrs. McCreadie´s classroom is probably the best, most comfortable class I have ever been in. I like all of the books, posters and pictures that you put out for us. Your classroom look like one you would see in a teacher magazine." |
"Mrs.McCreadie was probably my favorite teacher and the class that I learned a lot in. She was an easy teacher to get along with and also a very easy teacher to talk to and ask questions. I liked how when we asked questions she didn't exactly give us the answer and made us think more. I had always heard great things about her yet never really thought much of it until I actually got into her class and from the 1st day it has been my very favorite class." |
"Thank you for inspiring me to achieve everything and for pushing me in ELA this year. I loved having you as a teacher and I learned a lot from you. Your hard work and effort put in to everything this year was helpful knowing that I didn't have to worry about coming into class and being bored. Everyday was different and exciting and I loved that. Thank you for everything, and I will miss you." |
"SHE IS AMAZING. She taught me many ways how to enhance my writing as a student. Has helped me strive in my writing. She is very supportive and is someone you can go to for literally anything. Yes, i´ve learned a lot. When i first walked in on the first day, i was expecting this class to be boring. Because well its english. But it actually an eye opener. Now i write stories and poems to help me relieve my feelings." |
"Entering Mrs. McCreadie's classroom was like entering a sanctuary, a home, a safe, warm, inviting, and happy place. Your classroom has been by-far the best decorated and coolest room I have ever seen. The amount of time, effort, and money you put into your room and making it comfortable for learning and the students is evident and so appreciated." |
"I could not have asked for a better year in 8th grade English or a better teacher. Mrs. McCreadie became so much more than just my English teacher and truly touched my heart, leaving a positive and inspiration mark that will last forever. All the I hoped for this year was that I would be pushed out of my comfort zone, given opportunities to excel and go above and beyond, and learn an immense amount that would improve my writing and English skills tremendously." |
"I loved ELA this year and I thought you were an amazing teacher. Thank you for helping us become better writers, better students and better people. You go above and beyond and I can really tell that you put a lot of effort into teaching. Thanks again, and I wish you well in the future." |
"I'm happy I had someone who cared about how students were doing and how to make their experience at school better. I definitely learned a lot and it was great to be taught by someone who's clearly very passionate about teaching." |
"I really enjoyed having you as a teacher this year. You always put a smile on my face even on a bad day. I hope you like being a high school teacher just as much as I liked you being my middle school teacher :)" |
"You were by far the best english teacher I have ever had! I learned a lot because of how funny you are even if I don't laugh because I am shy. And everything we did was so fun, I remembered it. I was not expecting to have such a great time in ELA I never really like it till I was in your class." |
Parent Testimonials
"Mrs. McCreadie's commitment to teaching, passion for the subject matter, genuine affection for the students, positive energy, contagious enthusiasm and wide smile supported a culture where it was apparent students felt valued and supported... Simply, being in Mrs. McCreadie's class was a wonderful academic for our daughter." |
"Open house very warm and inviting, newsletters informing of plans and review, your focus on what is important, agendas for class, writer of the month to showcase special efforts, special notes when warranted, call home when child is sick showing genuineness and caring, these surveys to constantly look for ways, if any, to improve. Given both children consider you their favorite also speaks volumes. I believe and appreciate your teaching style. Thank you." |
"Your passion for teaching, genuine concern for students, and careful planning are evident in each and every one of your lessons. Your students love you, and they are certainly lucky to have you." |
"Mrs. McCreadie is an excellent representative for our education system. She instills thought provoking lessons for our students and makes them feel proud of their work. She is very encouraging and makes the students work to their ability. LACS is very lucky to have her. She is there for.all students, despite learning levels. We will miss her terribly." |
My husband and I really appreciate the teacher/parent communication via Bloomz and your English 8 Newsletter! As children get older, they are less likely to share what they are learning and doing in school and in their specific classes (without parents having to pry it out of them!), so your means of communication have been a window into what [our daughter has] been doing in English this year." |
"My child enjoyed Thoughtful Thursdays. Mrs. McCreadie seemed to teach English, but also cared about her students and molding them into good little humans." "Keep on striving for excellence. You have the passion, and the kids appreciate your follow-through." |
