Do you remember your 1st grade teacher?

Yup, I remember...I, too, went to a Private School, and her name was Sister Martha. She was a tough teacher to have in the first grade - she would pinch our cheeks, tease by stepping on our feet - However if you made it thru her class, you were ready for the rest of your 11 years. Must add that I learned to love her as I got to know her later on in years.

yep, i sure do...Mrs Gerber. i was terrified of her because she always slapped the boys in my class. she ended up getting fired because a couple of us girls went home and told our parents what she was doing.

Hi Sarah! You caught me, I have poor memory in this regard, cannot recall the exact name of my teacher in Ist standard, however, I do have a group photograph of all the class students sitting in a group, along with our class teacher. I mean her photograph is still with me, however, I cannot recall her name.

Yes I do! I think his name was Mr. Erickson, but I am not sure. He was very lengthy and had a big, sort of goofy nose and he had a great personality. I could tell that he really cared about his students and he loved his job. I remember when he was teaching us how to count to 100. Once a week each student would have to go up in front of the class and count as high as they could and if you made it all the way to 100, you got a 100 grand bar. hehe I always got the candy. I was definitely a show off. I really liked that year.

I think I can recognize one of my 1st grade teacher's, but I don't think I can all him the right name. I was not a good student in school, so I was always punished by the teachers when I was in elementary school, so, I think the case is that I don't like to recall my teachers, so I have forgotten them. To be honest, most of the teachers gave me a bad impression.

i definitely remember my 1st grade teacher. her name was ms. deangelo and she was the worst of all the teachers i've had throughout my school days. i can hardly remember any of my elementary school teachers, but this one made an impression on me.

Yes, I remember my first grade teacher. Her name was Ms. Taylor. She appeared to be so stern and was older in age. She was a great teacher and loved me so much that she would give me love pats and I went home and told me mama that I got in trouble and got a whipping. She went to see what was going on and my teacher just loved me so much that she was just giving me love pats. LOL I won't ever forget that and it was over 48 years ago. LOL! Some things you never forget. Thanks for the discussion and God bless you!

I still remember my first grade teacher... and her name is Ms. Lugay... i can't say she is very nice because during that time she was so strict... not the kind of teacher that we see on tv who is always smiling... saying words of encouragement... or simply lovable... But i must say she is quite an effective teacher because i learned how to write and read under her... though it was mainly because of fear...

I still remember my 1st grade teacher. Ms. Xu was an old teacher but I was so grateful to her. She was kind. As at that time my handwriting was so ugly. She kept me after school and taught me patiently. Then I knew it's important to write words clearly. I love China

Sadie Fiestes....that was her name....she was very old....and hard of hearing...so we all learned a few things wrong because she couldn't actually hear what we were saying...like what and that......so after being my first grade teacher....they retired her. I will always remember Sadie!

Hello Sarah. How are you ? Oh yes ! I never forget my 1st grade teacher. She was so kind, so loving, so caring. Not just me , but all of us in the class always remember her as a wonderful teacher and a loving mother. In fact she was honored for the excellence in performing here responsibilities to perfection. I would say more than perffection !!

My first grade teacher was called Peter (in the Danish schools we usually call teachers by their first names) I liked him, because he was very entertaining and good at telling stories. He was also very good at playing the guitar and he sometimes played for us. My parents and the many of the other parents didn't like him, and they didn't think that he was a good teacher. After some time I had another teacher, because Peter left the school. He gave up teaching and started making tv-programmes instead.

to be sincere, i cannot remember my first grade teacher. i tend to forgot people after some years. it is so called 'out of sight, out of mind'. But i still can remember some of my secondary teachers, only some not all.

I actually do! when I read about this discussion I thought hard who my 1st grade teacher was and surprisingly I remembered. It was Ms. Cruz. although i don't remember what her first name is exactly. Gosh! that was a almost 15 yrs ago, such a long long time. I feel old :( lol!

Well maybe in the past few years i clearly remebered them and their name but the recent meeting show that they had forgetten about me already . i guess that is why i began to forget about them also yea .

Yes, I think I could name all of my teachers except for my Kindergarden teacher, I do not remember her at all. My 1st grade teacher was Mrs. Hessling. She was a really sweet lady.

Yep I do, her name was Mrs. Westveer and she was also my 3rd grade teacher. I love her :) My mom saw her not too long ago and she's now retired.

I will always remember my 1st grade teacher.. though her name had changed (she got married when I was in High School). I can still clearly remember her face and even up to these days, if I get a chance to go to my former school I still love to visit them. It's always nice to let them know you remembered and show them how well you are now or what you have become.

hello there sarah...... yes i remember my 1st grade teacher. she was mrs Racal. she was a big and rounded person......she was the former teacher of my older brother. so it wasn't hard for to know and adjust to class when i was in the 1st grade.Oh!!! she was very strict!!when she looks at us when shes angry... oh my!!! i would say IF LOOKS COULD KILL...lol...... but shes nice though shes is strict.... may God bless her... have a nice day...
