Ms. Plummer
My name is Jensie Bigler and I attend New Providence Middle School. Ms. Plummer is my favorite teacher. She is getting married soon and showed us her engagement photos, and just as always she had a warm and happy smile in all of the pictures. If I described Ms. Plummer is six words I would say that she is happy, because she can laugh at herself; silly, because she laughs with her students; kind, because she will talk to you about anything and reassure you when you are worried; better, because she is better at expressing herself, and because she is my favorite teacher; stronger, because she is confident and influential; she is beautiful, in the ways she talks and looks of course, but she is also beautiful on the inside, the way she thinks and the way she looks as us as if she trust students and believes in us.
In Ms. Plummer’s classroom, she has a letter that she wrote to students saying that we are listened to, believed in, and trusted. The letter also promises that we will succeed. Every time I see the letter, I have to remember that it is not just one of the almost cheesy posters in some of the other teachers’ rooms. The letter is something Ms. Plummer believes in and lives by in her teaching. That is only one of the many reasons I love her as a teacher. When I received an Administrative Referral for the first time ever (for a mistake), I almost gave up hope in the school. But after meeting with an administrator, Ms. Plummer looked at my eyes, swollen and red from crying, told me that it was going to alright and gave me a hug while making sure I was okay. Any other teacher would send a student into the hall because we would be “disturbing the other students,” but Ms. Plummer makes it her personal duty as a good teacher and leader of the Broncos team, to make her students feel safe, wanted, and supported.
At New Providence Middle School, there are amazing teachers much like Ms. Plummer but none of them come close to the way she makes her students feel. Her confidence and rebellious nature allow her to stand apart from the likes of any other teacher. Miss Plummer is my favorite teacher because she is strict but she is never mean about it. She makes students feel safe and calm by creating the perfect teaching atmosphere in her classroom and her way of teaching.
