How's it going, teachers?
By LOGAN D. MABE, Times Staff Writer
With student report cards on their way reflecting the first grading period, we report on the progress of Bellamy Elementary physical education teacher Pablo Gallego Alvarez, Liberty Middle computer and business teacher Daisy Questell, and Sickles High history teacher Adrianne Hall. We followed them from the first day of school in August to record what they have taught, and what they have learned. Gallego, who seeks to be a role model, has grown to appreciate the value PE has for children bursting with energy after long hours at their desks. Business and computer instructor Questell, a seasoned educator at the college level, is weathering a crash course in middle school survival. And Hall, who teaches world history, must marry instinct with what she learned in school. This is the first of four quarterly reports.

From the Times |
PABLO GALLEGO ALVAREZ: Bellamy Elementary's PE teacher appears to put his all into a job that is "a lot more complex than it looks."
DAISY QUESTELL: A middle school rookie is as excited as her students about teaching at a new school. Her challenge: planning.
ADRIANNE HALL: A Sickles novice holds her own after reaching a make-or-break point. And she smiles every day, well before Thanksgiving.
