Students were asked a general question about what they liked about me and/or the class. These are some of their responses.
"I always loved your undying effort and personal committment to us as students. Even at my most unfocused times you never gave up on us as a class on your hardest days as well. I truly want you to know I have a deep appreciation for you Profe and I'm proud of how far you've come as a teacher in such a short time. I also like dall the ways you try to get us engaged and I hope it's something you bring with you to impact students throughout your careers. I hope you always have that part of you that makes us smile and feel as at home as we do in your room."Â
"Profe is really good at explaining topics in a way that made [sense]. Her personality and atmosphere of the class is really welcoming. The lessons are fun and engaging. She is a really fun person to talk to."
"What I like about my fav teacher is she gives time to learn something. She helps us a lot if we need help. She is a very good teacher. She has a very good way to teach us something big or small."

"I love the way you articulate things and go out of your way to ensure we understand the material. You are genuine, creative, kind, and hard-working. You have left a significant impact on me these last 3 years and I will forever be grateful to you. Also, I adore the way you decorate your classroom, color coordinate materials, display animals you crocheted, etc. Thank you for your hard work and being a profound memory I will always hold dear."
"I loved Profe Ebbitt's class because she actually makes sure we understand it before just rushing ahead like others. She made Spanish 1, 2, and 3 easier to understand. Profe has always just been an amazing teacher and she makes class exciting to be in."
