I had Mrs. Farthing as my 5th grade teacher and she is one of the teachers that I look back on and feel lucky to have had. Despite being in a small school and having the typical one room school day in 5th grade, she managed to keep the day interesting by moving the learning around the room and outside when able. Her classroom felt like the “cool” place to be and even before you had her as a teacher, you were anticipating when it would be your turn in that classroom with that teacher. She was intentional with her connections and relationships with her students. I feel confident that any of my other classmates would echo that they were made to feel individually valuable. This is a feat in a room of 20 plus 10- and 11-year-olds but it is a piece I feel positively influenced my experience in her classroom and my education. She made activities and assignments as interactive as possible and made learning something new. She really knew how to view the day and the curriculum through the eyes of the students and design it to fit our needs. I still think about reading time in the hang out corner and the laminated charts we used to learn how to write a story. She went above and beyond with details, not just learning science but experiencing science, incorporating goggles and coats to increase the intrigue of the topic we were learning. Throughout your education, the years can blend together, but there are those grades, those teachers that you hold close no matter how many years pass. 5th Grade with Candy Farthing was one of those years.
