Bates Academy

The Best Teachers in the World

All of my teachers at Bates Academy are both sweet and kind.

They all work hard to help me have the best intellectual mind.

They help me learn lessons easily and keep my schoolwork fun.

So I go to school in the morning wanting to se what’s to come.

Ms. Kaye teaches English and helps me keep my words and phrases right.

Mrs. Wardwell helped me learn how all colors fuse together to make white light.

Ms. Ryder helped me learn about mathematics including long division, the hardest of all.

Ms. Watts taught me that we must learn to have questions and answers to the global call.

It seems that my teachers at Bates Academy are the best in the world.

They work extra hard for each and every boy and girl.
