Yesterday we presented the January Teacher of the Month to Ben Moss, Sixth Grade Social Studies Teacher at Lone Oak Middle School. Once again, we were honored to present a certificate and monetary prize courtesy of Scott Walker Construction. By far, the most fun is learning more about our teachers through our questions. Mr. Moss was no exception!
- What was your first memory from school?
My mom taking me to kindergarten. She was a kindergarten teacher so I got the kindergarten experience way before I got to kindergarten.
- How do you show your school spirit?
Making class enjoyable for the kids so they have something to remember and something that they’re going to take with them.
- What is one of your hidden talents?
I consider myself a baseball historian. I know a lot about old baseball stuff. (His favorite team is the St. Louis Cardinals!)
- What makes a great day at school?
When a kid feels good about themselves from something I say – when a memory is being made.
- How does technology make your job simpler or more difficult?
It makes it easier. There are so many tools.
- How do you remember all of your students’ names?
Prayer. (This is my favorite answer.) Repetition!
- What is a school sport or activity that you enjoy watching?
Baseball or any sport. I like to watch Seinfeld a lot and King of the Hill.
- If you could take your students on a field trip anywhere in the world, where would you take them and why?
I would take them to Rome so I can show them what we’ve learned. I would take them to anywhere that I’ve taught them about in class. Athens too!
- How do you think your students will remember you and your class?
Silly, trying to make it fun and interesting. It will be different for different students.
- Is there a quote or saying you live your life by?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
