Mr. Lee and Mr. Barone are just two of the many wonderful teachers at Beaver Lake Middle School. I have Mr. Lee for math and Mr. Barone for science. Mr. Lee has been at Beaver Lake since 2001, and Mr. Barone has been there for 11 years.
Mr. Lee loves to give out a fun homework assignment called a Pizzazz. A Pizzazz uses a lot of math calculation to uncover a sentence or answer to a joke. Of course, Mr. Lee gives tests too. But it’s a fun and busy experience. Finally, Mr. Lee is a huge Husky fan, so on Fridays, whoever wears purple to school gets a piece of candy. Mr. Lee told me, “This is not a job, but an adventure!”
For Mr. Barone, he likes to play music at the beginning of class, sometimes it’s boogie, sometimes it’s disco, and it changes a lot. He also likes to decorate our assignments with funny pictures — like for our first test, he put a worried face picture of himself at the top and labeled it “Your first brutal science test!” Mr. Barone’s expectations for his students are to just try to do your best.
“I like both of them, because they are very creative and funny,” said Andrew Evans, one of the many students who has both Mr. Lee and Mr. Barone.
These two teachers are a couple of my favorites because they give out wacky work that teaches us while we still have fun. Go Bulldogs!
