Steve Kedrowski
Mr. Kedrowski is one of our veteran sharks, who is returning to 5th grade after spending a year in 3rd grade.
Mr. Kedrowski shares that his favorite part about being in education is that he is always getting to learn new things. When he thinks about his own school experience, he shares that his favorite teacher was Mr. Q, his high school trigonometry teacher. He was funny, and he could make any topic interesting.
If he could choose one teacher’s class to enroll in for a day, he would choose Ms. Bolin’s. His students are always excited when they get to go to her room, so he wants to see what’s going on in there.
Mr. Kedrowski wants our Sharks to know not to be afraid to make mistakes! That’s easier said than done (He needs to remind myself of that sometimes), but it’s really important.
