Mr. Heerdegen

New Teacher Mr. Heerdegen
By: Andy Schultheis and Kiara Dempsey
This week we interviewed the new teacher, Mr. Heerdegen. He took over for Mrs.Dorsey a teacher who went on maternity leave to take care of her new baby Leela. Mr. Heerdegen is a student teacher taking over classes to get his teaching credentials, becuase of this we decided to ask him a couple of questions on how he is going to teach the classes. The first question that we asked is do you like having your own class room? He replied, "Yes because I have no one telling me what to do and I can teach the class how I prefer to teach it." Secondly, we asked if kids are acting different? In response he said "Everyone is basically acting the same, loud students are still being loud." Next, we asked if he is going to change the class? He replied "We are going to read more in class, so we have no reading logs." We also asked him if he as going to be strict? he replied '' Yes, I will be strict but not too strict." Mr. Heerdegen is staying for the rest of the year to teach the classes and help engage students and design curriculum. We look forward to seeing what he has in store for us!
