A View from Ms. Appleseed

Ms. Appleseed is a former team teacher of Mr. Tree and a close friend of mine. While no longer working with Mr. Tree she is full of insight. She currently teaches in the same district but as a special education teacher now. With my many conversations with her, I have determined that Mr. Tree is the creative one and Ms. Appleseed was the disclipinarian. She took charge of the class and kept them in line. Mr. Tree was responsible for the creation of the atmosphere, the assignments, and keeping it fun. She was also the primary task master. She kept the class organized and things on track. This is the role I see myself taking in Mr. Tree's class. I am the task master. I expect great behavior from the kids, and why Mr. Tree does as well I will for a lack of a better term demand it. Ms. Appleseed had nothing but positive things to say about Mr. Tree and I can truly see Mr. Tree's greatness through her eyes.
