Teacher shares stories of French journey


By Maria Mota and Esmeralda Ramirez


What a great temporary teacher!

Here at Waldo in Room 102 there’s a new temporary teacher covering for Mr. Stroup, and that teacher's name is Mrs. Gicquel. She’s a great teacher, and unlike many teachers at Waldo she has taught classes in France. We asked her some questions about her journey.

"What is it like to be a teacher in France?" we asked.
"Well, middle school kids are a lot more annoying in France!" she answered.

She also said that she likes her job here at Waldo because she has awesome students. She likes being a teacher here, too, because she is allowed to teach different subjects. Additionally, she likes the staff here. Also, she likes Waldo’s dress code.

We asked her why she decided to become a teacher, and she answered that she became a teacher because she wants to be a positive role model for kids. She also wants to keep kids out of trouble.


Then we asked if she was planning to stay a teacher here in Salem next year, and she said definitely... but let’s hope your principal offers me a job!
