Almost the End :-(
As painful as this is to say, the fact is, our time together is all too soon drawing to a close. (Yeeesh, that was even harder to write than it is to say out loud!) Throughout these past nine months, you have all taught me so many things, whether they have been through class discussions, OP's, blog posts or even one-on-one conversations. In fact, I daresay each of you have taught me way more than I was able to teach you. I can only hope you got a little something out of it too! :) In any case, this week I would like you to think back on our class and the books we've read and the topics we've talked about and the activities we've done. Think about it all and talk about what you will be taking out of your time in Room 204--what will stick with you? What did you love? What will you miss? What will you always remember? And most of all--what did you learn? Think specifically about that, no matter what it was, whether it was how to use hyperbole or a hypehenated modifier, or what love means or how you spell preposterous or whatever. This doesn't have anything to do with me--you could have learned things in the same way I did--through classmates, friends, OP's (have I told you that you are running out of time to do an occasional paper?) or discussions you had after class. Tell me about it. (300 words/50pts)

I CAN'T BELIEVE SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER AND AS LONG AS I BEEN IN SCHOOL MY ATTUIDE AND WAY I FELT ABOUT SCHOOL NVER CHANGE UNTIL THIS YEAR. NOW THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF TEACHERS I ALWAYS LIKE AND THERE MANY SUBJECTS THAT I LIKE BUT NOW IT DIFFERENT. ITS DIFFERENT BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY LIKE ENGLISH LIKE THAT BECAUSE I LOVE HISTORY ,BUT NOW I FEEL SO MUCH MORE URGE TO ACCOMPLISH MORE SKILLS IN ENGLISH ECSPEACILLY BECAUSE OF MS. BUNJE. I HAD SO MUCH FUN IN ENGLISH THIS YEAR. THINGS I WILL NEVER FORGET IS THE DEEP CONVERSTAIONS THAT WE WOULD HAVE BEFORE CLASS IT REALLY HELPED ON MY REALTIONSHIP AND MY DAILY LIFE PEROID. EVERYTHING WAS FUN IN THIS ROOM LIKE IT WASN'T JUST ROOM 204 IT WAS MS. BUNJE 204 IT WAS SO BANGIN LIKE I KNOW I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS YEAR. SHE MADE LEARNING SO MUCH EASIER AND FUN SHE ACTUAL MADE ME WANT TO LEARN THINGS I LEARNED WAS???????? WELL I REALLY CAN'T EXPLAIN IT BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT I LOOK AT THE WORLD AND MY LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY NOW. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER 204 I WILL ALWAYS MISS MY CLASSMATES AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MS. BUNJE!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
I hate to admit this, but for once I might actually miss school during summer vaca this year! This is only because of everything that I have to leave behind from room 204. I think that what will stick with me the most is every day having the opportiny to freely express myself without the fear of being criticized or thought of differently. Being in this class gave me a feeling of comfort and brought my imagination and personality to a level that I never thought that I could go. Which brings me to the one thing that i loved most about english this year...the one day when I finally learned to disregard anything other people say about you, the only thing that matters is reaching every goal you set for yourself. I learned not to put limits on where i can go in life because I can go a million times further than where I expected. I'm definately going to miss all my friends and of course, my wonderful teacher. Eeryone has given me the chance to be myself and provided me with the ability to learn from my mistakes in life rather than worrying over them. Each day I look foward to being with people that care and like me for the person that I am. I like the fact that i did not simply acquire the type of knowledge that you cram in the night before the test and forget it the next day, but instead the type that i will remember and use throughout my entire lifetime. English in 204 would not have been the same without all of my classmates and ms. bunje, and I would want to have it NO other way=)
i can say this is the best class that i had this year. each time i came to this class i had fun i love the people in our class because they make me laugh. though over the year you noticed that now I'm more quite in class but I still listened and and laughed i really enjoyed sitting back and listening to others opinion and what they had to say. Our conversations that we had in class were very funny but can be very intreasting because we would have talks about things that didn't involve shool work. It also gave you a chance to listen to what we as students had to say.I love the idea of having blogs. thats the best thing I like about this class and also the ocassional papers. Blogs I like because the questions you post are very good and they deal with real world feelings and experiences. They are very good long thinking questions and i enjoy that.In the beginning of the year Iwas scared to read my occassional papers out loud but the good thing about it was that we could write about anything and to me that gave me the oppertunity to share my inner thoughts and express myself to others that would listen. It showed them a little about me.one of the best assignments you gave us was when we became teachers. I had so much fub doing it and i was very focused on my project.(If you could to teach what you learned it means you got the main concept and you really understood it).I learned how to get the real message or the concept of a novel. As we get closer to the end of the year I'm really going to miss all the blogs and the conversations that we had in class. i believe that our class was very comfortable with everyone and that is why our class is fun and open. but seriously for next year you should keep the blogs who ever diagrees is just lazy and afraid to speak and elaborate thier true thoughts and opinions. I will miss this class and you and Berchtold (wish me luck and patience in the real world).
Wow, almost over and yet not moving fast enough. sorry but i cant wait for summer mrs. bunje, its not you, its my other teachers like a science teacher no one likes or a very annoying study hall but other than that school was fun for the most part when mrs. wasnt picking on me. There has been alot that happened this year like the field trips or the many, many, many class talks about stuff no other teachers got the "moxy" to talk about in class.though i think i will never forget this class in general not specific really its just that this class was so different from any other class that i couldnt forget it no matter how hard i tried and believe i tried. i am just kidding, i didnt try, that hard. i liked this class mostly for its laid back attitude and for the very comfortabe bean bag chair. the bean bag chair was the best in class. I was thinking about stealing but i wouldnt do that to my favorite 10th grade english teacher. just like you wouldnt do anything bad to your favorite period 5/6. the one thing i remember learning about is buddism, i dont think thats spelled right, because i learned buddism isnt really a religion so much as a set of guidlines, which is perfect for me because i am not a "religous" person. though out of everyone i dont think i taught you anything, because i am as a deep as a well in the desert. though the one thing i will always miss from this class is the lack of work we had to do. i mean we still got work but was just easier to do because your such a great teacher.
WOW IT REALLY IS ABOUT TO BE THE END OVER RM 204 AND ITS ABOUT TO BE THE BEGININNING OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.WITH ONLY TWO MORE YEARS LEFT OF HIGH SCHOOL IF I DONT LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL REMEBERING NOTHING I WILL LEAVE REMEBERING RM 204 AND ALL THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD THERE.FROM ME HAVING TO SAVE MS.BUNJE'S DEAR LIFE TO ME HAVING SHARING MANY EMBRASSING MOMENTS WITH THE CLASS.TO TELL THE TRUTH AND THIS COMES FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I NEVER REALL MEET A TEACHER LIKE YOU AND AT ONE POINT I THUGHT IT WAS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE AND YOU WHERE GOING CHANGE UP ON US.OF COURSE THERE WHERE WEEKS THAT YOU HAD YOU UPS AND DOWN AND YOU WERE A LITTLE FUSTRATED WITH US BUT WHAT NORMAL HUMANBEING DOESNT HAVE THOSE DAY.ME TRANSFERING INTO ROOM 204 WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I MADE IN MY LIFE.I WENT FROM HATEING PERIOD 5/6 TO LOVING IT EVERYDAY.MS.BUNJE YOU ARE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A TEACHER WHO CARES FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED GREATLY IN YEARS TO COME.
RM 204,PER 5/6 WHERE DO I START FROM WE WENT FROM DEBATES, TO ARGUEMENTS,TO MS.BUNJE'S CONFUSING QUESTIONS THAT THERE WAS NEVER A ANSWER TO BUT YET WE SAT THERE ALL PERIOD AND WOULD THINK OF IT.ENGISH THIS YEAR WAS LIKE NO OTHER CLASS I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH IN MY TEN YEARS OF SCHOOL CAREER.IF SCHOOL WAS LIKE DIS EVERY YEAR AND IN EVERY CLASS WHO WOULD WANT TO DROP OUT OR SKIP SCHOOL?I LEARNED THING FROM MY CLASSMATES THAT ALTHOUGH WE ARE DIFFERENT WE ARE ALSO THE SAME.WE ALL GO THROUGH PROBLEM AND FACE MANY OF LIFES OBSTACLES.AFTER EVERY CLASS I WOULD GO ON WITH MY DAY AND KNOW THAT I LEARNED OR GAINED SOMETHING ABOUT LIFE.WHETHER IT WAS WHAT TYPE OF LIGHT I WAS THOUGHT TO BE BY MY CLASSMATES OR WHETHER I WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT NOTICED MY SURROUNDING WHEN I WALKED.RM 204 PER 5/6 HAD SO MUCH MEANING TO ME AND IT IS A CLASS THAT WILL BE REMEBERED IN YEARS TO COME.I DONT THINK NOBODY CAN TOP YOU MS.BUNJE
I <3 YOU
Yes the time is reaching a near, and we have all learned so much. But the thing that i personally will be taking from room 204 is that one there is a perfect teacher and yes that is you Ms. Bunje. Most people say it is impossible, or there can't be such a thing, as a perfect teacher but now we all have prove there is you. "THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!" Also another thing that i am taking from room 204 is that there is always a meaning to matter what you do, no matter what you read, and no matter to what you say or already have said. Before i couldn't always see that but now i see more then just the top layer of something. I see deep within the situation. I can now see that there is atleast a thousand words to each picture, there isn't always an answer to a question. Sometimes you just don't know what to say, but you know you want to say something. Also one of the bigger things is you won't be able to do things without trying, patience, and the love of it. Just like you Ms. Bunje, because you left all of your other jobs to get paid less, so you can do what you love to do. Hopefully oneday it will be the same for me. When i leave i will always remember room 204 and the greatest human-being alive!
Oh my goodness, i for one can't believe it's almost to the end of the year. it's really going to be hard for me because i won't be able see you, of cousre Ms Bunje, and all my other classmates. Some i already knew and some i met and became great friends with. What will stick with me the most is the long deep conversations we had in class. When i'm in Ms Bunje's class we could talk about almost every and anything in class. I think that's one thing that i love about her class because i love to have long conversation with people and have a great time while i learn something new. Although we have fun in class in the end i wil always learn something new and do different things. The one thing i will miss the most about Bunje 204 is the occasional paper. Even though i didn't like to read, my occasional paper to my classmates,it's a great way to talk about things in your life.i felt that it's a great way of getting something off your chest when you need to talk to someone. it also helped me improved with my writing skills and i will miss writing with my occasional paper. The most important lesson i learned in bunje 204 is that i look at things differntly in my daily life and how little things we do can have a very big inpack in your life. Ms Bunje i will miss you so much and i'm very thankful to have been your student of '07. i hope to see you in the next two years because i will be moving back to Trinidad and Tobago. I will never forget you Ms Bunje. Much LOVE. Josie:)
Through out this year I've learned alot about myself. I can't even begin to say how much I've learned from everyone including you Ms. Bunje. I enjoyed coming to your class everyday for the past year. Like I meantioned in my occasional paper it's really hard for me to say goodbye. My biggest fear is that if I say goodbye that means I will never see that person again. That's why I only say goodbye when I know that i'm never going to see that person again. Room 204 was a place that I wish the whole world could of had a privelage in enjoying just like I have, not only did we have a wonderful class. But it was so much more then that, it was the idea that our thoughts and our feelings mattered and no one could tear us of our opnions. Ms. Bunje i'm extremly going to miss you, I loved your cute clothes everyday and your wonderful bubbly personality. You've taught me more than I could ever say thank you for because for some reason thank you is just to small of a word. Ms.Bunje through the O.P's I've learned that i can do anything I want to do and not worry about what everyone has to say. I'm slowly starting to regain my self confidence back and be who I want to be. I would like to say thank you to my entire English 2 class, and you Ms.Bunje , you will always have a place in my heart and I will never forget you. I wish evveryone the best in their future endevours. With all my love!!

WOW,SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER CAME SONER THEN I THOUGHT ON THE REAL I KINDA NOT READY FOR THE YEAR TO BE OVER. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY THING I CAN TAKE OUT OF YOUR CALSS. YOU ARE THE ONLY I REPEAT THE ONLY TEACHER THAT HAS GIVEN ME FREEDOM TO SPEEK MY MIND. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A VOICE WHEN OTHERS HAVE SHUT ME UP. aND I THANK YOU FOR THAT.THE THING THAT WILL STICK TO ME THE MOST IS MY SKILL TO NOT SAY "NA MEAN" ARTER EVERY SENTANCE. I WILL MISS IS OUR OP'S. NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE BORING I KNOW.I LOVED THE WAY IN CLASS WHEN YOU GAVE US THOES OREO'S AND WE COULDN'T EAT THEM AND YOU TEASED US. IT WAS KIND OF MEAN BUT IT WAS FUNNY. I LOVED HOW YOU WOULD HAVE A PLAN IN THE START OF CLASS BUT WE WOULD END UP HAVING A CLASS TALK THE WHOLE PERIOD THAT WAS COOL. I REMEMBER MY FIRST DAY IN YOUR I REMEMBER YOU SAID YOU WERE NERVOUS TO MEET US. THATS HOW I FELT WHEN I FIRST CAME TO YOUR CLASS.I ALSO LOVED THE WAY YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON ME OR ANY OF YOUR STUDENTS, AND THAT MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOU IS HOW YOU JUST SAT BACK AND JUST LISONED TO OUR OPINIONS. AND THATS WHAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.I LEARNED THATA LITTLE THING LIKE COMMING TO CLASS CAN IMPACT ME LIKE IT HAS. NOW THAT I KNOW THAT MS.BUNJIE IS GOING TO BE AROUND IN ONE OF THE CLASSES IN BORING1 OAKCREST THERE IS HOPE FOR THIS SCHOOL AFTER. AND O YEA JUST BECAUSE SCHOOL WILL BE OVER SOON IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF TODD DORN.
All I can say is YAY! Summer is almost here and im very excited. Throughout this year I have learned a lot from many people in many ways. Out of this room two ohh four I have taken in the little things we have done. I liked when we did word wall and learned the meanings of words I never have heard of before. I liked getting to write answers to questions live never thought about in our journals. When we made our leaves to our class tree is something that I believe got us to open up a little and I liked doing that. Those are a few of the things that will stick with me when I leave two ohh four this June. The little things we did in class are the things that stood out to me the most. I really don’t know why they just do I guess its because I enjoyed doing them. I loved when we got to go outside and read in our Siddartha books for a day because it was a different atmosphere than the same old same old. I don’t think I will miss anything because Im excited to start my junior year and experience new things. I will always remember how I actually had a teacher that cared about what we thought and our opinions. For the most part our teachers don’t let us give input on the things we do in class, we just do it. ill also remember how this was the first English class ive had that I didn’t have to write a lot in and we got to have class discussions majority of the time. I learned that it’s okay to think deeper into things. I learned that it’s a good thing to think about the meanings of stuff and to take it in more than you would want too. I learned that it’s okay to let your mind run wild and jump into things that you think are right. I basically learned that there are different ways to think about things and it doesn’t have to be in the traditional way that everyone else is.
wow; i can't believe that this school year is almost to an end. and i can honestly say that third period, room 204 was the place to be =] this was my favorite class, and i deffinitly won't forget it. i kind of wish we could all just come back in the summer just for ms. bunje's class, =] i have learned so much from this class in the two months that i have been at oakcrest, and it this class has made such an impact on me in the short period i have been here. ms. bunje taught me that none of us deserve crap from anyone. if we are being treated unfairly in anyway, by anyone- we can come to her. everyone has a voice in ms. bunje's class, and i feel like my opinion truely matters there. I never had a teacher who cares aout her 'kids' as much as ms. bunje does; and its great! =] this is the ONE class that i am going to miss. Thank you for finally teaching me how to write an annotated bibliography, ezbib is basically my best friend now! and im sure it will help me all throughout college! it may be a big word, but it is a fairly simple thing to do. Unlike some other tecahers, ms. bunje always had a unique lesson plan for us- and that made me feel like our class truely mattered. she made it fun, i don't think there ever was a dull moment in room 204. I don't think I ever will forget how long it look me to write that dumb research paper! (we know you HAD to do it ms. bunje... and we forgive you =]!) After listening to occasional papers, and reading blogs- I have realized that I am not the only person in the world with problems. Everyone has them , no matter how big or small they are. One thing I really loved about period three was our class discussions about love. I feel i can really relate to this, because i am still trying to figure out what love really is! most kids my age are. We discussed things in period three that other teachers wouldn't dare bring up... and I thought that was really cool. I have learned so many things from room 204, these are only a couple of the highlights.
Thank you ms. bunje, I wish every teacher was like you! we love you! <3 =]
Hey Mrs bunje wats up its 1 of your sweethearts.Well just to let you know ive learned alot in your class.Lets start off with conversating with each other.I loved it all its just like everytime we had something to say or a feeling we had to take out of our chest you gaves us a chance to talk.We got a chance to express our feelings and let everything out i appreciate the fact you listened i dont have a chance like that but my boyfriend thats about it and to be honest you showed us love something i havent had in so long.I love the fact that you care and listen to what we have to say.I had fun with this class alot this is my favorite class anyway.O and to let you know one of the best books i liked that we read in class was "The Crusible"i just felt like this book was more interesting than the others but i loved the movie "Their eyes were watching God".Even though we had little work in class everything else was also important because it all meant something to us and still with less work we learned alot about life most teachers think we only learn by doing only work and its not true because this year you taught us that.I love when you make up repeat ourselves when we dont use the right grammer in our sentences and thats a good thing you just teaching us to speak better for the future.I know i didnt do the best in your class but i tried as much as i could i just let everything outside of school dealing with this life and drama that im going through get to me.Like i be feeling good in your class but when i get out im still hurt but its ok ill survive.What im saying is i couldve done better in your class now i know to do even better next year.Now with my class mates i cant live with them but i also cant live without them i mean they so funny and play feans <---(play alot).Im going to miss being with every one of them and you Mrs bunje ofcourse if it wasnt for you being in this class it would have never been this fun and cool.O yea 1 more thing,i think we should discuss this question in class.Thank you for being there to listen and caring so much i couldnt have asked for anything else.
I can remember the first day, me getting my schedule and reading Ms.Bunje and thinking to myself "Oh God".Still till this day i think oh god, what a wonderful human being you are. Inside jokes we shared and long conversations about my choices! You always found the time to hear me out when all i wanted to do was tell a story! i will miss everything...all the lessons, all the people, and most of all you! Coming to see you in room 204 at least 1000million times a day can never get old to me. Everyone in my class is special, some more than others and class time with them was amazeing. It was always full of love and laughter and i could always expect a LIFE lesson every single day. even though you almost put me to sleep during research paper time repeating the same things over and over again i still found the strength to stay awake :). last but not least i know everyone who knows you would agree with me 700% when i say this
" Your the best teacher ever...and all those times you were going to workshops to learn things you should have been one of the people teaching stuff...when it comes down to actually teaching kids or anyone you come encounter with you do a fantastic job, and if we were to grade you it would go above all oakcrest rubrics!!!!"

Monin! I loved pretty much all of this year in 204. I just loved my classmates every last one of,weather it was Kieth with his insightful wiews on discussions in class,or Breannas threats. I think that period two has the greatest mixture of students every, I get to hang out with some of my old friends, and got to know people that I would probably say high to every once in a while. I will kind of miss our occasional paper,even though in the beginning I thought they would be pretty stupid and assinine. But I was wrong to the highest degree it was actually pretty cool. I will always miss Ashleys' crazy and sometimes nerve racking stories, and of course how Brian talks about nothing sometimes in his. What did I learn this year,I'm going to have to say nothing at all I just sat there all year. Just kidding, I learned alot of things in your class,for instance I did not know that you and Ms.E were so much alike. I never thought that I would meet a teacher that is actually a big fan of Nas. I also learned a bit more about myself,thanks to this class I might even try to show my feelings every once in a while but not to much though that's not me. And you also helped me with my debating skills because arguing is my second favorite pass time. I learned a little more about love but I still have a few question, I guess with age I will gain more knowledge on that subject. By the way you told us about 100 times about our Ocassional paper, but I will still probably wait till the last possible minute to do it sorry but it's true. I have to give a big what's good to period 2 and my friends in all of the other English classes. Stay safe, keep ya head up, pieces like reeses, peace love and hair grease,hey buuddy,(no I didn't mess up on that word). And of course I hope to see you all soon.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE SCHOOL YEAR IS ALMOST OVER. HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE THIS YEAR WAS JUST A ROUTINE. I DIDN’T REALLY LOVE OR HATE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS SUMMER WILL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST SUMMER OF HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I MISS SOMETHING OAKCREST. NOTHING REALLY STOOD APART FROM SCHOOL THAT I WISHED I HAD IN THE SUMMER. FRIENDS MADE MY SCHOOL DAY JUST INTERESTING ENOUGH TO COME AND THE FRIENDS THAT WERE IMPORTANT ENOUGH WE WITH ME DURING SUMMER. THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE I WILL MISS SOMETHING THAT I CAN NOT TAKE ME ON SUMMER VACATION. THAT IS ROOM 204. 204 IS A PLACE TO RELAX AND REALLY THINK ABOUT MY DAY. IT IS CALMING. I AM COMFORTABLE AROUND THE PEOPLE IN THERE. OUR PALM TREE DIED, BUT OUR HAPPY TIMES DID NOT. WE HAVE SUPERHERO JIM AND EVEN A 80-YEAR-OLD MAN NAMED MARY WARREN IN OUR CLASS. WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT? OH, IT DOES GET BETTER. WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER THAT WE CAN TELL ANYTHING TOO. MS. BUNJE MADE A CLASSROOM, “OUR” CLASSROOM. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EVER CONNECT WITH MY CLASSMATES LIKE I DID. OCCASIONAL PAPERS LET US KNOW WHAT OUR CLASSMATES WE’RE DOING OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, IN CASE WE DIDN’T KNOW, AND THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM. THIS MADE US EVEN CLOSER. I REALIZED HOW GREAT MY CLASSMATES ARE, AND HOW I SHOULD GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE TO REALLY GET TO KNOW THEM. MY CLASSMATES ARE SPECIAL IN EVERY KIND OF WAY AND IT TOOK A SPECIAL PERSON TO SHOW US ALL THIS. I THINK WE OWE THE BOND WE HAVE IN 204 TO OUR MOMMA-BUNJE. SHE IS SOMEONE I WILL NEVER FORGET AND HOPE THAT I CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST FOREVER WERE MADE IN 204. 204 MADE MY SCHOOL DAY WORTH IT. 204 MADE MY SOPHMORE YEAR FUN. 204 IS A FAMILY. 204 IS A HOME I WILL NEVER FORGET! I LOVE YOU MS. BUNJE AND WILL NEVER FORGET SOPHMORE YEAR IN 204!
What have i learned in the 204 classroom. Well one thing that i have learned is when a teacher tells me to right a paper i should not go over the number of pages that was assigned by 12 pages, and more importantly not to tell anyone about how pages i was able to write. Another thing that i have learned in your class ms. Bunje is that i shouldn't wear collared shirts, even though i always do. But it was still fun to let jim paul robbie and john tape my collar, and it also made for some good laughs. In your class i learned how to think about things in a deep philosophical way and not just to think about what they show on the surface. You taght us how to, with the simpleist question to underlying meanings and to think about it in different ways. Another thing that i learned was that if i ever decide to to get drunk, not that im saying i would, but if i did i shouldn't tell you about it in the form of an OP. So now that the end of the year is coming i will not say goodbye, because that sounds to final, but i will say "se e you next year" because it isnt final and i will see evryone again.
Well its easy to say that the end of the year, especially this year is hard. I think that we have been with you in 9 months, and in that nine months we have became extremly close, i think thats ironic because it takes 9 months for a baby to be born and i know Mrs.Bunje concideres us all her babys. I think that after this im gonna be texting Mrs. Bunje all damn summer with advice or even to maybe get the class together for a reunion. Im really going to miss Mrs.Bunje because by far she is my most inspirational and favorite teacher. Ever. I can honestly say that i have learned more in Bunjes class then any other class ever, and not only english. Every day i learn a new life lesson. The books we read in Mrs. Bunjes class are amazing and always teach me something new. I am really gonna miss you Bunje. The end of this year is not gonna be easy, so just fail me for the year so i have to come back =].
I love you Mrs. Bunje. Thank you for being the most amazing, (and Gorgeous) Inspirational, (and Gorgeous) And all around best teacher i ever had. I will never forget this year or you, just because of your wonderful class. Thank you for everything again bunje =]

I've learned a few things from my teachers and class mates. It's kind of weird, I never would have thought that I could learn from a bounch of students. This year went way to fast. I may have been quite all year, but I feel that its better for me not to really talk to anyone because I learn better that way and I watched all the other students this year either getting distracted and getting out of there seats so much (Blake). I also listen to the students to and I learnd alot from everyone in English. Every disscousion that we had in class everyone got involved. I loved it when mid-terms came by because we would start on them a week earlier and for finals we're going to start on them earlier and it was easier on us because we were all stressing out about mid-terms for Mrs. Bunje, but she never makes a worry about it because it wasn't hard at all. I will miss doing the OP's becuase that gave us a chance to bring up our grades and not have our parents yelling at us and freaking out so much. We learned from them, listened to eachother and had a few laughs. I will miss this class in a way, but i'm looking forward for a new one and moving on to a new English class.
I just can't believe on our fast this year has gone it's crazy.I will always remember when we went on our class trip to see the play because I enjoyed it and it was something very new for me because I hadn't been to a play before. I also learned from it, I learned that if I take a risk and try new things it wont be that bad because I could end up liking it.
I really can’t believe that the is really almost over it went by so fast and the crazy thing is when think of the first day I really can’t how it went because it seemed like it was along time ago. Some of the things that will stick to me from room 204 will probably be bring my book every day to class, don’t be a bully, and a lot of other useful stuff for the future. Some of the thing I really love about that class was no one was really ever mad or sad, I really love the parties that we had, and the fact that Ms. Bunje was always happy every day this year that was something I loved a lot. What I will miss in 204 I will miss a lot like every thing we work on in that room was fun it wasn’t boring like most other class like when Ms. Bunje was teaching a lesson it would interesting and the class would be into it and laughing and stuff like that, and I will miss the blog’s and O.P.’s because on the O.P’s I got to tell the class about what goes on in my life. I will always remember the way Ms. Bunje came in class every day with a smile on her face, and the way she help people in and out of school and the way that she was just a cool teacher that I will probably come across again in my last 2 year of high school. I learned a lot of stuff this year like how to do a blog especially. I hope this year was slower because I’m really going to miss coming into room 204 every period 9/10. I’m really feeling bad writing this thinking back on all the good times I had this year in that room.
Sophomore year is really going by fast now. Since the beginning, I've felt comfortable in Room 204. We've discussed things that I've never really thought deeply about, which is good because it has helped me explore what I know. I loved the life soundtrack project. It was really a creative idea. I love music and I know a lot about myself, so it wasn't like we were given some random topic to write about. I like the idea of OP's (and yes you've told us that we're running out of time to do them..)Doing these blogs is a new experience and I think when I'm typing I can let my thoughts flow easier, even though I can't type fast. I will miss our class environment. All of us in Period 2 had a chance to make new friends, catch up on friends we haven't talked to, and got to know an amazing english teacher. I never feel intimidated or victimized in Room 204. I'll always remember how you wanted to hear what we had to say and how you were interested in learning slang here at oak. Another thing I had fun with was acting out The Crucible. That was good practice for my Media class and also let me relax and sharpen my public speaking. I'll most likely be on Falcon TV next year, so you'll be seeing me. I have learned, through these nine months and through the books we've read to never change who I am. Also, to never give up on something you're passionate about. My future goals seem so far away, but if I focus on that all the time, how can I function? I'll take things day by day and keep my head up because I know that I'm capable of so many things. Since you've been my teacher, I've been thinking a lot more introspectively. Most of all I'm glad that I had an overall good time with you and our class in English 2; Room 204; Period 2!
MUCH LOVE, ((IRWIN)) hahah...
yes this year has gone by very qickly. on some occassions im glad that it did but on others im not. i know i wasnt the best student u in ur class and i never really did any of the work or anything like that but i have learned a lot this year. i think the best thing that im goin to take out of this class that i can say that i did somewhat talk about was when we did that love discusion thing. from being in this i can honestly say it was fun. i wish that this year didnt go by as quick as it did. im goin to miss a lot of the things we did in this class. i dont know what else to write but now i do kinda regret everything but i will see u again next year.
Well me personally im happy school is almost over but of course im going to miss Ms Bunje and my favorite english class. I never had an english class that i enjoyed usually i hate english its just so not me but i look forward to comin to my english class to have the conversations and stuff it just seemed like so real and i learned alot this year not even having to poen a textbook thanks to Ms Bunje
Wow first I want to tell you that I love you Ms. Bunje. Your are very special to me not just as the most wonderfull teacher I had but also as a friend. You helped me with my boy crisis and with my family problems. You told me everything was going to turn back to its normality and it did. I would like to thank you for not just what you have done for me but also what you have done with my classmates and friends. Secondly, room 204 wow!! I can't believe my days in that room are over. Coming from lunch and sitting in that chair made me excited and wonder what would be our topic today!! When we read the "Crucible" it was magnificient!The lectures in the auditurium or when we transformed the classroom into the little village!! HAHAHA! Especialy when I was mrs.something and John was the mr. Lots of laughs and special moments. Or even when John gave me the Build A Bear! Wow! I was so happy that day! Then the weeks went by and we did the award ceramony! Hahaha that was fun!Then we read the book "Their Eyes are Watching God". Well this book was special to me because I associated myself on how Janie felt and how she didn't have a chance to express herself. And when she saw a chance to show someone who she realy can show the kind of women she had to be hidding she did. She felt that at least someone cared for her for who she was and not because she was pretty. Now we are reading the book "Saddhartha". This book has lots of self centered quotes that make me think and makes me want to read the book more and more. I felt an interest in how saddhartha wanted to go in a journey and find himself. I think thas amazing. I also love how the books has lots of second thought misleading wordings. As of my classmates they have thought me a lot of what I know now. For example, Joe he is a very smart young man he always helps me with big words. haha!! Well I guess those are my last words! I'm going to miss all of you! Love you and may god bless you!
I can't believe this year is coming to an end, it's kind of hard to believe. Coming to Oakcrest, I was a little bit nervous but Mrs. Bunje's class made all the nervousness go away. Her class was so exciting and funny. I loved to different convos that were held in class about love, religion, There Eyes Were Watching God, and so much other stuff. By doing OP's it has made speaking in front of people easier. In Bunje's class, we were all a family, in other words, her little pumpkins. What makes a class as special as hers? This is the question I asked myself. First of all, Mrs. Bunje is an excellent teacher. She is the kind that you can always go and talk to. Whenever you are in help or need she is always online and willing to help. Because she is not like other teachers, she is VERY special and unique. Not only is she cool, but the way she teaches is great too! The other things that make her class special is the people in it and the different activities that we do. Whenever there is a negative vibe in the air, we would all stand up, take two deep breaths and then let them out. Also, we would go around the room and say nice things about each other. This was uplifting for many of us especially if we were having a crappy morning. Now that we are almost in the middle of May, I'm very sad to leave her class. Hopefully she will be teaching juniors next year cause she is the best English teacher I have ever had and probably that only one that I will ever have.
probably the most thing that will stick to me is to think deeper thoughts into what i am wrighting and to do things in advance. i say this because i doubt that i am going to have a teacher like you in the rest of my years of schooling. all it took was an reseach paper for me to figure that out. well maybe not all the way beccause i am still starting projects and other class assignments late but all in all i think i am doing a pretty good job at it.another thing that will stick with me is useing them describing methods you thougt us. im basically going to used them to expand my papers so i won't have to do that much work. (would you say that is close to cheating?) one thing that i loved about our class is that in a way we never did work but in a way we did. for an example, when you be asking us them complicated questions and we be havin them decusions. we always left the class with some type of knowleged learned, well i know i do. i like it when we do that because sometimes i don't feel likw wrighting. one thing i will miss is alex's answers to your complicated questions. i like they way he always suprises me with his answers. i think i will always remmber that i actuslly liked my english class. i have too say one thing i have learned is how read an clock the grown up way. i also learned a little about other religions.

Warning: I am not sugar coating at all. I am being 100% honest.
What will stick with my the most from 204 is...nothing. I mean, what's the point in remembering something where you were cut off, forgotten, rejected, and made to fall silent because you didn't agree and didn't feel like aswering why. People feel a certain way about something and shouldn't have to explain themselve to anyone. I didn't love anything. OP's and Bloggs are pointless and why must someone know about my life that i wont see ever again. And if I do once i get out of highschool i wont see them again. I didn't learned anything...wait, that's not completly true. I did learn that if i keep my mouth shut I wont be shot down on my own oppion statement. So i guess even though you tried to prove that our minds do matter you select a few minds who agree with you to speak louder. I'd hate to say it, but there are favorites in every family. Voiced or not voiced.The only thing besides getting cut off and rejected i will take from this class is two stronger friendships, and a love of actully doing work. I love actully working for a grade. Finally, I would just like to say "Thank god for English 3 and History 2! I can't wait to get the hell out of this class!"
This class has defently been the most different english class I’ve ever had. In this english class I was able to learn more from my classmates then I thought I ever would. Thanks to the O.P.’s, I learned a little bit from every single person in the room. I liked hearing them but didn’t like writing them because I don’t like opening up infront of many people about my life. I learned how to think in a more deeper way and think outside the box. I will miss the lack of work we did. We did do work but, not in the way other teachers give us. Most of the work we did related to us and our opinions. I learned through out this class that not all opinions matter because theres always going to be another person who has a better point. I learned that people will always question your actions or opinons and that if you don’t use your voice people aren’t going to pay much mind to you when you do. I also learned that no matter how hard you worked on something, you can ALWAYS do better. This class made me realize a lot stuff about myself that I didn’t want to realize. I have a voice and never really used it during class so I felt like when I did speak my opinions didn’t matter. That’s why I prefered not saying anything. And because of that I learned that I was a way better listener then a talker. I was never the person that liked talking much about themselves and I was hoping that through this class I would be able to become more comfortable doing it. But I really didn’t. I learned that my life isn’t as interesting as I thought it would be but im only 16 and I have a lot to learn. So from room 204 I’ll leave a lot memories and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me next year. (I don’t have anything against you Ms. Bunje or anything like that. I think you’re a nice person and all but that’s just my opinion about my english class.)
She was a young woman with beautiful alburn hair, soft skin, average height, and had a smile that could light up a whole room. Period 5/6 came and as I sat down in one of the hard uncomfortable desks in room 204, on the first day of school, I stared at the teacher that stood before me as she told us to call her Ms. Bunje. What I didn't know was that this teacher was about to become the one teacher that i would never forget, the one teacher that would change my life and become the light at the end of my tunnel. Five days out of the week I would walk into room 204, but it wasn't like I was just walking into any ordinary classroom where i would sleep half the time or day dream, not paying attention to anything the teacher was saying. Period 5/6 had become my way of escaping reality and all the troubles that were occuring in my life, it was like a home away from home. Although, I never really thought about the day I would have to walk out of room 204 and turn around and say goodbye to the memories but most of all to my teacher, my second mother. Its easy for me to list the things I learned from my teachers at the end of every year for example this year I learned what a cumulus cloud was and what the circumfrance of a circle is, but none of these things will ever really affect my life. Besides those pointless things, this year, one teacher, yes you Ms. Bunje, taught me the one thing I've been trying to find out since I was young. You taught me how to never doubt myself, how to be myself despite what other people think. Ms. Bunje you made me realize who I am as a person, you gave me hope when I needed it most. Love was never something I was too keen on, when i thought of love I thought of pain and tears, so what could i possibly love? I love room 204 and most of all I love you. I love the fact that you would always take time out of your busy schedule to have one on one talks with me, I loved our award ceremony and parties, I love your courage and your independance as I woman. We all have our flaws but in my eyes you have almost none and with that you've become my role model. I'm not much of a crier, to me its a way of showing weakness and once thats revealed then you've become vulnerable. The day you had your asthma attack, I cried, and that was the day I knew you really impacted my life. Not many teachers teach their student's how to interact with their classmates but I've never felt so close with a group of kids as I do with my classmates when I'm in your class. Between the OP's, the goose in Deanna's hotel, Joe and his tick tock's, Jim and his frequent bad luck, and our off topic discussions we have in class almost everyday. All of these things have impacted my life in a way that's simply unexplainable. June 8th I can walk out of room 204 and say that I've learned so much from you and my classmates, but this is also the only class I will ever really miss and can't bare to think about leaving. I've taken so much from your class Ms. Bunje, enough to make me grow and become the girl I've always wanted to be. You'll always have a place in my heart Ms.Bunje, just don't forget to remember me. <333
Room 204 . <3 Well first off when i think back on this classs i'd have to say i think of how that room was ours, and it wasn't just a classroom , more like a home . and it was never uncomfortable in there . I loved how it was fun and we learned through conversation and not gay worksheets or other normal stuff , i love the way that you teach and how you're always there when your 'kids' need you . i learned more in english class this past year then any other class . I loved all of our deep conversations that we had ,(i'd write about all our deep conversations in my notes to mike, and told him how they always got me thinking and got his opinion about them) and how it had me thinking for the rest of the day or when i read the blogs at night and i say to myself " hm, that was a pretty damn good question . " I still remember the day we put up the stars and thinking that period three was going to be a fun class =) you're always doing stuff to keep our attention , and making things fun . I still remember the day i came to you during 11th or 12th period with Ryan M. becuz i lost my friends sweatshirt and i had no clue what to do , haha and you told me to calm down and you helped me out :] Bunje , you're a great teacher and thanks for the great year in room 204 <33 and i'm deff. visiting you next yearrr, so don't forget about me :]]] <333

Room 204. Wow. I remember the first day of school, as I walked into that classroom, I was a little nervous. 10th grade seemed so much older and I felt so much more mature. I looked around the classroom actually I kind of felt out of place. I was actually kind of mad to be honest. None of my bestfriends were in my class, actually, none of my friends period. The only two people I've ever talked to were Kevin and Keith. I saw everyone else around, however, I never talked to them. I knew Brianna from last year, we were actually "friends" at one point, but everyone changes so... I remember thinging to myself wow. I'm stuck in this classroom with a bunch of people I don't know. Little did I know, this class full of people was going to help me with who I am as a person. I suspected i would have nothing in common with any of these people, so i thought I was going to have a long drawn-out boring school year. After a few days, however, it all changed. Now, I swear, I can honestly say I love this class. Everyone! I have learned so much in this class this year. I have learned the most from my peers (no disrespect mrs.bunje). From occasional papers to our deep discussions, it seems like I have grown as a person. I have learned to listen to what people have to say and take it in and grow from it. I have learned to understand that everyone has their own opinion and have to respect that. I used to think the world revolved around me, but I see it clearly doesn't. Mrs. Bunje, you have also helped me. I remember one day we were talking abouthow we felt about certain subjects. You put a piece of tape on the floor, and read a statement. If we agreed, we would have to stand on one side. If we disagreed, we would stand on another side. That's what really opened my eyes to people having their own opinions. Also, recently, we had a discussion on confidence and hair, and race. I love how everyone in the class contributed to the conversation and how diverse we are. Everyone is different and I love that. It seems like I've learned the most in the class without any textbooks. All we have ever needed was eachother, and pen and paper. Bunje, your personality is what draws me to you. You have mother traits and you never even had a baby. You call us your pumpkins and I think of you as the pumpkin patch field. Not that your big like one lol. It's that you have help each and everyone of us grow and now we are more mature pumpkins. I know I'm not alone when I say we love you. I honestly don't know how you do it, but everyone that has you as a teacher loves you. You teach us what a textbook could never teach. You help us learn who we are your wonderful Bunje. You deserve teacher of the year or something because you make such a big impact on everyone's life. It's amazing how you have so many students, but you help us all in a different way. You are like the best teacher ever. You're hard on us when you need to be, however, you have a different way of teaching us. Our classroom was like our "sanctum". ( I learned that from you!) I love you for everything you have taught us and I will definitely visit you next year *if i don't see you* (inside thing) Thank you for everything Mrs. Bunje. I really believe I've grown as a young lady. I love youuuu! Never forget your "Ambuler"
wow i cant believe sophomore year is almost over. It seem like yesterday i was still playing pee wee football. The one thing that i will always bring with me is to not to live down to people expectations of me. The one thing i will always remember about room 204 is all the o.p., that as much as we think were different we all live very similar and crazy life's. The most important thing i learn in 204 was to never let a teacher think they can talk down to me just because there a teacher. My class mates have thought me so much, and can't even fathom the knowledge that i have up stained 3rd Pd. i'm out like a fat chick in dodge ball peace bunje.
Wow, this year has really flown by. I'm not saying it is a good or bad thing though. I just cannot wait till the summer. I think that the things that will stick with me the most are all the things that we learned in all of our many intellectual discussions. I loved when we went outside to read Siddhartha, on the bleachers, on that nice, calm, warm, beautiful day. The part that I will miss is our little discussions on things that have nothing to do with what we are doing, that we have like everyday. I will always remember our little jokes, like superheroes and girl voices made by Joe. Throughout this year I have learned many things. I have learned that Jim is a superhero. I learned what love means, and that everyone has their own definition. I now know what a hyperbole is and the correct way to write a hyphenated modifier. Most importantly, I learned more about myself. I also learned how much I cannot stand the people around me, and that I hate this school and that I don't like the people in it, well most of them. I learned a lot about the people in our class; people that I didn't even know existed before September sixth. I learned that your voice is important no matter what, even if people don’t pay attention to it. I loved how we did the stars. I really liked how we did the tree too. I liked how if we ever had a problem that you were always there to help us. You fought for us so many times. You are a very dedicated person, Ms. Bunje. With sixteen days of school left, twelve full and four half days, we are almost at the middle of our high school careers. I really cannot wait to become a junior, because that then means that I will only have one more year of my dreaded high school days left. Although it might not look sad right now, I know that when that last day of school comes, I will be sad, and period 5/6 in room 204 will forever be in my memories. They will never leave me.
I must say i have learned alot in my english class this year and i sure will miss it greatly. If i had to pick one thing that i loved in class it would probably be out class disussions. Although they may have gotten a little heated and the topics were'nt always school apropriate i feel this is what always kept me excited to come to class every day. I can honestly say that not one day was the same as the other, and beleive me, thats a good thing.One thing that i will miss is Jim cowley =(. He is one of my better friends and the fact that im not going to be in the same school as him next year really didnt set in yet, but when it does i know i will miss him. When you ask me the question what i learned, alot of things come to mind. But what you taught was everything i needed to know about life. You taught me about love, friendships, enemy's, lifes path, and you made me realize who i was inside. You pointed out that we are all different but thats not bad at all, in fact its good, and i would like to thank you for teaching me that.
This year started off rough for me. I was all scheduled up and starting my year with two honors classes and AP Government. I'm not going to lie. I was overwhelmed. Although I know with every inch of me I could've made it in those classes and done adequate I gave up. Sometimes I'm not always that confident so when you have your teachers telling you how hard and impossible the class is going to be it sounds a little scary. After I dropped AP Gov and HN English with my favorite man in the world, Mr.C, I came to room 204 with you lovely people. My first day in the class Bunje was absent and your assignment from Mr. Hall was to write a letter about how much you all love her. Your letters made me comfortable. You all loved her so much so I thought; maybe this wasn't a horrible decision. Knowing that I gave up will always bother me but I will not look down upon what I learned in this class. Among many things, Ms. Bunje, you taught me how to think for myself even more strongly than I had before. To develop my own questions and my own answers. To never let someone else decide for me. To never let my opinions be altered by someone else’s but to always listen to them , learn from them, and try to understand. Teaching someone how to think isn't something many people can do so you are amazing for accomplishing that. Honestly, I will not miss your class because I don't agree with the way school works with it's 44 minutes of every class and ridiculous structure but I will miss you. Hearing and trying to understand your both complex and simple views on life, love, and the world. Thank you for this year Ms. Bunje. Don't worry, we'll all be visiting you next year.
I'm gonna remember my classmates most of all....what we've all done together, how we've interacted, whether it be bad or good. I"ll never forget all the times we've laughed in 204... all the debates. One of the most important things that I loved was the random converstaions that popped up out of nowhere. Conversations came from the most random things. What i'm going to miss the most is you Ms. Bunje. You're the best teacher. If only we could have the same class until graduation. The idea of leaving you is an outrage and it's gonna sadden me to leave. I will always remember the activities that you had us do even though they were meant to be used in the kindergarden, i think they were very effective. Everything that I've learned in your class will stick with me until I die. I will never forget Ms. Bunje's period 3 English 2 class for the rest of my life. I'm gonna tell anybody that i meet about my exeperiences in your class and I'll tell them that you deserve respect from the entire world. I will Always remember Ms. Cassie Bunje.
i am really upset you made a blog like this bunje. im not ready to think about what i will only have as memories from room 204. i think what will stick with me is the love and compassion you toward me and the rest of the class everyday this year. what i loved the most was walking into your room everyday with a sense of complete relaxation and warmth. i cant tell you how much i looked forward to your class everyday. what i will miss is the compliments exercise because no matter what kind of day i was having it turned it to a happy fun day. i will miss our class dicussions about all kinds of different subjects. and most of all bunje i will miss you! im going to miss your smile in the morning and your amazing, loving and bubbly nature. i will always remember our student appreciation days and our awards ceremony. the most important thing i learned in your class from the op's and class discussions is how easy it is for a group of people to come together and get along. i learned that no one is better than another. bunje you have taught me so much this past year and i thank you very much.
Reading that post really hit home, Mrs. Bunge. It's such a scarey thought thinking that in a couple of weeks, our high school career will be half way over for good. There's no turning back and fixing siutations now, we're almost adults, and you are to thank for helping us all come to that conclusion. I'll miss so many things from room 204, most off I think it's the feeling of comfort. When I step foot through that doorway, I feel safe, and held away from all the drama going on outside in the rest of the world. That little 45 minute period of protection is the best feeling I get all day. What I will miss, is what I love the most. I'm NEVER one to feel comfortable or safe, but in your class room I feel like being my self, if just what you want, and it's such an amazing feeling to be able to recieve. Especially from a TEACHER. I'll remember every single class descusion you through out at us or all to think about. But not just voice our opinions in that moment, but for when class ends the toughts are still racing through all our minds. What I've learned this year from room 204? Oh my, does that list go on! Most of all , though, I learned to be me. To sit back and absorb the world around me, take everything in, and just be. I've learned how to be comfortable, and to stand by my opinion. You're byfar the single most amazing teacher a child could be given to them. I'm so thankful I was one of the lucky kids to be placed in your class at any point in my schooling career. Thank you for teaching me how to be.
When I started read this blog question aloud in room 204 Mrs. Bunje got really upset. It really bothered me to read this because when I read the rest of the question it would mean we are getting closer to the end of the school year. I don’t want to face the last day of school I wish it would never come. I don’t care what you think Mrs. Bunje I wish you could be our English teacher next year too. You are so different than any other teacher I have ever had and I thank you for that. In room 204 you let us be ourselves you let us express ourselves and be who we really are. I’m going to miss so many things about our 2nd period class. Our long conversations about everything and anything, everyone’s O.P. papers, all the new things you learned from your students, etc. In room 204 we all learned many things but I think the thing that will stick with us forever is how you taught us to be ourselves. Mrs. Bunje you always told us you hated giving grades out because you didn’t like labeling people with a letter. You always thought that everyone should be the way they are and therefore shouldn’t be labeled. So the main thing I will always remember when I leave room 204 at the end of this year besides you Mrs. Bunje and our second period class will be to always be myself no matter what. Writing this is starting to bring tears to my eyes. I’m going to miss you and the class so much, but I don’t want you to worry I’m going to come to your class during study hall all the time. I’m also going to stop by to visit you after school all the time when I’m waiting for my mom. So don’t get too upset Mrs. Bunje because I know everyone will come back to visit you. So don’t you think about the end of the year being a goodbye but just a longer vacation. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MRS. BUNJE AND MY 2ND PERIOD CLASS AND I’LL SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!!
Yes school is coming to an end, and part of me wants it to end and like most dont because it comes down to only seeing you friends occasionally and not the same usual five days out of the week.Things that i will take with me will be most likely from this class because it wasnt the same like all of my other class. We talked about so many different things and brought out different points and questions that no other teacher would talk about in class. I would take my laid back and relax attitude that i had in this class to my future work and school goals. Because i learned that i cant worry about everything when life keeps going on. So expecting and dealing with things have became ok with me. I learned to be myself and not change to fit in. In class we have so many different people from different class, race, and background but we all came together as a class when needed to. I know i dont act like it or told you but mrs bunje i have really enjoyed your class very much. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Wow i cant beleive it is coming to an end. It went by too fast. Well im going to miss the most are my teachers and everyone that heve helped me throughout the year. Even you Mrs. Bunje i want to thank you for everything that you have done for you have helped me threw everything that came to my way. Its very hard to see that some people dont feel the same way that i feel because its a really big shame. Who has been there for us u and other teachers. But i really look forward of seeing you in the near future. You have taught me alot of things as of being a respectful individual and being strong threw what ever happens. You will be missed.........Peaaaaaaaaaaacccccceeeeeeee..........
First off, I think I will remember who was in my class rather than what happened. One thing that I will remember for a long time is one of the first days of school I said that you were addicted to cocaine. I learned about the books we read such as Huck Finn and Their Eyes are Watching God. Normally I hate reading books even for school but this year it wasn't that bad. I am going to miss our off topic discussions that in no way related to what we were talking about or even came close to it. I loved how we had blogs actually because they are easy homework assignments that were not out of the way and they were quick easy points :). Im going to remember how this marking period will be my only OP for the entire year. I will also remember how you would put a passing grade on our midterms so we wouldn't get in trouble.<3 Thanks ha. I will remember trying to guess what Mr. Ernie was doing next door because he was always so loud. I will remember passing you when I leave gym to go meet my girlfriend. I will miss when the class stops to do something not having to do with the lesson, like Mr. Haul having a mahogany desk. This year was a pretty good year and I will miss it.
So this year, it was cool. I met new people who i never thought i would ever know. Everyone in my class has amazing personality and i wouldnt change anyone in my classes. I love that everyday we always would go off topic, still interesting conversations, and then break out into songs. Looking around the classroom i dont think ive ever seen anyone upset in that class. I think its because all of our personalities will shine through their problems. Everyone would always smile, sometime in english class. I will never forget the day when we all were talking about our problems we have in our lives, it amazed me that for some people they had horrible things in their lives but would always come to school and smile and laugh like theirs nothing bothering them. My classmates are amazing people to me and i will miss them. Maybe i will occasionally see them next year. <3333
This year has gone by fast for better or for worse, we have gone through many things this year, but I haven't learned a single thing about English. Whether its writing reports, stories, sentence structure, or research papers I haven't learned anything. I have however learned about social interactions and conversations, how the majority of teenagers act in general, and about being a Buddhist. Those things will stick with me and further bolster my knowledge of things and how to interact at certain times. I didn't really love anything in this class during the year, on the contrary I'm glad I won't have to see and hear some things. In class discussions I for one will be glad I won't have to sit through. Don't get me wrong though, having in class discussions is a great idea, but it definitely could've been a lot better. I found that almost all of our discussions were completely one-sided in the beginning of the year while the opposing ones were either shot down or ignored competely. To make it better for next year, I think other students shouldn't be allowed to respond to other students unless directly by the teacher; if not its just a battle of whoever is more loud and obnoxious than the other. As to social interactions, I've learned that the vast majority of young people are ignorant that make assumptions on subjects then later argue and fight saying its the truth. Especially about the subjects when its comes to the Bush Adminisration and love. Majority of these people are too ignorant and unexperienced in these subjects to even voice a well thought-out educated opinion, not some random babbling of how they think things happen and should happen. I will most definitely remember is the book Siddhartha and the teachings of Buddhism. It has helped me come from the person at the beginning of the year that dispised and hated obnoxious loud people, overly arrogant people, or those that torment others to the buddhist that has removed all caring and emotions to the highest degree. I have become a person without many emotions; some of which I wish were completely gone, and is impassive without any incling of thought from the person before that became annoyed or even to the point where I hated the person and wanted to snap their neck. There is only one thing I will miss and its that feeling I sense when I walk into the room and feel the presence of a warm, welcoming, and sensual atomsphere. Even though I will only miss one thing and didn't really love anything, I do however regret one thing. I regret not finding the answer to the question I've been wondering for a very long time and hoped that I would discover the answer in this class. The question as to why other people treat others so tormenting and without care. I see people making fun of others for things they do or dont do, people taking things from others when they aren't looking, and putting the others down and make them feel like shit. I asked myself this question over and over repeatedly as I witness these things and wonder why without ever finding the answer. Could it be that these people get enjoyment out of tormenting others, is it the way our society is these days, or is that they do it to show-off in front of their friends? Is it that they hate the other person even though they never did anything to them before or is it a way to pass the time? Could it be that people make others suffer to make themselves feel good about themselves or relieve stress in doing these things? I've come to another conclusion recently that before becoming a buddhist would've made me hate mankind and reject mankind; down in the very core of the majority of people lies the essence and instinct to make others suffer. I've seen people that when it comes straight down to it are nothing short of pathetic specks of a human being that can only realize they exist and be happy is by making others suffer. Even though I ask myself this question everytime these things happen every single day, I still can't come up with an answer and maybe never will. I do know one thing for sure though, this year is coming to an end and it means the closer I am to more research on this question, the data I've collected so far has been about kids and teenagers in school. When I leave this school I can research how people act in the real world where they must fend for themselves instead of having mommy and daddy caring for them and getting slaps on the hand when they do something wrong or unjust.
Holy crap the year is over. It was short and boring in every class once in a while. The books might not have been that exciting but I still read them. I liked that the room was colorful and neat. I also liked the awards thing for the crusable. I will miss the color of the room and the nice desks. I will remember stuff at certain times. I leaned a lot about my classmates and teachers. I learned about Huck Finn thought the project even though I did not want to do it. I did not like the book neither did half the class. The OP was a good way to learn about people. The year was quick and maybe we will I will have you next year for English 3.
The main thing I love about school is my friends, teachers, events (fights), and the way time flies through school days. I’m going to miss everyone in the summer but I will see everyone again at least I hope I do. The thing that I learned in you class was that I like reading out loud more than by myself, and that I can speak in a crowd about anything without being scared. And I thank you for that. The thing that was my favorite about class 204 was, the talking in groups thing and the project that we did were Michael, Jordan, John, and me were acting like if we were in a store if u remember. Was the way you treated us like if we were your own family (or at least to me you did!), because out of all the English teachers I’ve been with, you’re the only one who was thoughtful of us. Like when we were in midterms, u brought us beagles, you had 2 parties for us, and you stayed after with us even just to hang out. I loved class 204, except for the heat. I wish I could have this class every year but I know it’s not possible so at least ill come and visit you just for memories. <(^.^<) <(^_^)> (>^.^)>!!!
hmm what to say i learned alot in room 204 im gonna miss it even though summer comeing im still gonna miss reading outloud lol always talken out everything hardly ever writting come to think about it thats the best class of the day:] I like reading the books you assigned and watching movies about them i learned alot from sitting next to joey p to like never cheat off the person next to you because they have no idea what they are doing either but thats besides the point i liked the whole class and theres really not much more that i can say everything was cool except for when u were sometimes rarly mad at us but even then we learned to shut up and do what we had to do so i learned alot in room 204
WALKING INTO ROOM 204, I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I SAT THERE WAITING TO SEE WHAT NEW TEACHER WAS READY TO COME MY WAY. WHEN I SAW YOU AT FIRST, IM NOT EVEN GOING TO LIE. I THOUGHT YOU WERE WIERD BECAUSE YOU TOLD US THAT YOU WERE WAITING FOR US AND KEPT CALLING US PUMPKINS AND YOUR KIDS. NOW I SEE WHY YOU DID IT. YOU WERENT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO JUDGE SOMEONE BY THEIR LOOKS OR ACTIONS. YOU WANTED TO GET TO KNOW US AND THE CLASS WAS ABOUT AND FOR US. OTHER TEACHERS FEEL THAT STUDENTS SHOULD TAKE NOTES IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THINGS. YOU HAD CLASS DISCUSSIONS, GROUP PROJECTS, AND FUN THINGS. WORD WALL WAS FUN BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN NEW VOCABULARY AND HAVE FUN WITH IT. THE STUDENT APPRECIATION DAY WERE GOOD TOO BECAUSE TEACHERS HAVE APPRECIATION DAY TOO. NOBODY THINKS ABOUT THE STUDENTS, BUT YOU. THE PARTIES WERE GREAT AND SO WAS THE ACADAMY AWARDS. ROOM 204 WAS A BRIGHT ROOM FULL OF HAPPINESS. A ROOM WHERE YOU HAVE A VOICE TO TALK AND WILL BE HEARD. I HATE READING, BUT THE BOOKS WE READ MADE ME WANT TO READ. YOU PICKED INTERESTING BOOKS AND TRIED TO WORK AROUND THE CURRICULUM. I LEARNED A LOT FROM THE CLASS DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. ONE PERSON CAN ASK A QUESTION, BUT YOU MAY INTERPRET IT AS ANOTHER QUESTION OR ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING IT. YOU NEVER PUT US DOWN EITHER. YOU KNOW WHEN SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND YOU GOT TO KNOW US EACH AS AN INDIVIDUAL. MS. BUNJE, YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY HISTORY OF EDUCATION. I WILL MISS YOU, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT I WILL VISIT YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I CANT BELIEVE ITS COMING TO AN END. I LOVE YOU MS. BUNJE. ROOM 204 WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU OR MY CLASSMATES! =]
I had an enjoyable school year in room 204. Bunje, you're a real teacher and person in general. When first came to your class in September, I had thought to expect a boring and hard school year with you. Well I was wrong, I had an enjoyable experience in your class, and your class wasn't too hard either. And the fact that you always listened to our perspectives on things in life made your class unique. You got on topics that some teacher's won't discuss, you made thing's interesting. I liked those class discussions we have where we express what we feel about a certain situation. Even though I didn't say much, I listen to you and my classmates. I'm going to miss that a lot, because not too many (I don't know any actually) English teacher's got that close with their students as you did. You also helped me understand people a little bit better, and that's important in life. You taught me to be real, look at thing's in a different perspective and you never gave up in our abilities as students. I know I might had let you down a few times, but I hope we put that in the past and move on. And I safely say that you may have been the best teacher's I had in my whole school career. I remembered writing down in one of our journal entry's earlier int he school year, and I still sick by my statement. The school year passed by quick, but hopefully this won't be the last time we see each other. Peace.
ok i have learned so much stuff from this english class. i feel that i can compose my papers better and my typings getting better from the blogs and papers. but most of all i learned that not every thing should be the way you planit to be such as learning. we didnt sit in class read text books and do exersises and worksheets on them. but we lerned in a different way not just verbal or visual but in a certain "limbo," stage between the both and for that i say i learned more in english to be open, honest, and dont bottle it all up than in any other expeirience in my whole life and educational carrer.
everyone else started their blog as. "omg this school year is almost over. it went to fast" so i supppose that will work for me to.i do agree. at this point there are 22 days left of school including weekends. so yeah it went by pretty fast. anyways, room 204 has definatly exceeded my expectations. normally new teachers suck and are fun to mess around with. ( if anyone had mr. Rios last year, you know what i mean :p ) but back to my focus.. room 204. i was expecting it to be like every other english class i guess. more reading, and essays and text books and crapy books. well, even tho some of the books were crapy. i think it made it funny that u went through mission impossible just to get them. =P but yeah, room 204 was the exact opposite. no text books. no unnecessary papers. i mean, we had papers and all but they were always easy to do and if they werent then we always had your help. [: hm well im running out of things to say about that subject, so i guess ill start on what i liked and didnt like about the class. well for the "dislikes" of the class i guess that would be that we didnt have it all day. [: and things i liked about your class was occasional papers. even tho at fi\rst o pretty much thought the idea of putting yourself out there, reading your business to a class full of people that you dont even know beyond school was pretty dumb. but then that brings me to the second thing about your class. i love the enviorment. there werent too many arguments, ( well not serious ones, at that.) overall, everyone got along pretty well. i have established relationships with almost every person in that class and normally thats not something you would get out of a class. thats why it made it easy to do OP's. ( even though after i read mine i still get a fever...everytime. lol ) basically eveything i learned in 204 will stick with me even when i move on with my life. i leatned a better process of thinking. like if im asked a question , instead of answering it imediatily, ive learned to think about it; analyze every angle of it. and i think that will help me out a lot. ive also learned not to judge people. if you were to ask me like a year to approach one of my classmates, i probably been like "im not talkin to that weirdo" even tho theyre all weirdos... i love them weirdos. [: they are some of the most amazing people i have met my whole life. and im so happy ive gotten to know them. i think i speak for everyone when i say that we all taught eachother alot as well as what you taught us. well im getting kinda emotional writing this. so alls i have left to say is that i love all you guys & will miss you over the summer. hopefully some of us will get to hang out, if not...ill see ya's next year. and to mrs. Bunje of course.. ill miss you ALOT. thank you for everything you have done for me. lettin me stay in your class for 12th period lol. ( thats our little secret shhhh! ) lol. but yeah. i never thought i could talk to a teacher about stuff . and you totally changed my outlook on that. have fun over the summer. and just remember. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL "BABIES"!! never forget that. [: <3
well i learned many things in this english class..like how to write better and just how to live life better. Them writing exercises made me write alot better. the best thing about your class is the way you teach. you make every thing worth it. the thing that i think i would miss most about your class would be you.. ill always rember the first day of school when you were new an were tryin to get to know us all. i learned so much in your class its hard to say what exackly but it would have to be when we dived the room in half an u asked questions an we went to the agree side or disagree side you made some good points about alot of stuff an so did the class......
haha not really a hard question.
Ill miss miss Bunje haha. Shes one of the best teachers ive ever had, and takes care of all of her students individualy. I will miss everything from the class, from the wordwall to reading with eachother. Of course reading togeather is the best! even tho some of the time i tend to dose off in the middle of reading hoping Ms. Bunje wont call on me to read haha. You would have never of guessed it but of course my favorite memory from the class was from when we were reading the crucible. Even though it was my favorite book of the year that actually wasent the book, It was that desk/replica of the gallows with the construction paper witch hanging from it haha. From all of those experiences ive learned to trust in others more and not always reley on yourself because there will always be friends there to help you.
Well, I finally did it! I actually sat down and read through all your amazing posts. Tears threatened to blind me, but I muddled through (there is still 24 hours and about 50 more of you that have to post--so who knows if I'll make it!). All I can say is....Wow. I really am humbled by your words and your thoughts and ideas and opinions. I didn't intend for this to be a Bunje love-fest (and in some cases it sure wasn't! ) but I need you ALL to know that you have inspired and awed me in ways I never imagined could be done. My last OP will comment more fully on what you all mean to me as individuals, what you meant to me as a class and the things I have learned from you, but I just want you to know that I treasure every word, every comment, be they positive, negative or neutral and every idea you expressed, both here and in 204. 204 is more than just a room--it is ALL OF YOU, it is what you made it by being who you are and there will never be words adequate enough to thank you all. This is not a goodbye, pumpkins; merely a see you later! I love you more than words can say.
This year has brought so many surprises and thankfully no drama or tears.when i first walked into 204 i just thought it would be another boring english class and another boring year.surprisingly when i walked in there was this woman standing there with the biggest grin on her face and i could just see her jumping up and down through her eyes.through all the books that i read and through my classmates i learned alot. we did have disagreements yet somehow you managed to pull us all together and realize it is better to love eachother than to hate. all the opinions i once had,were changed when i thought one way suddenly i realized the grass was greener on the other side.i learned how to truly love myself and others for who we are.to always speak my mind because there is no wrong in saying what you feel.what i truly loved about the class was that i could say what i felt and there was atleast one person that agreed with me and no one came at my neck for something i said.what im going to miss is the OP's and ms.bunje. through the OP's i was able to express my self without restrictions and listen to my classmates and listen to there hopes dreams and struggles and it really brought us all closer together once we all cried or laughed til we had to pee.sadly i will remember all the times i have heard you say MYKUL!!!!haha or when we all had to say something nice about him.that was fun.
This school year started off just like any other, with new classmates and new teachers. As I went through class after class it seemed like it was going to be another average school year. That was until I got to my period 5/6. From the moment I walked in and sat down till the second the bell rang there was something that separated this class from the rest of the others, that something was Mrs. Bunje. Over the first couple of weeks it was shocking to see a teacher that had the kind of lessons where we talked about issues that occur in life that I am actually going to have to go through. I know that everything that we went over in class is something that I can put to use in the future and I am grateful to have Mrs. Bunje as my 10th grade English teacher. The thing that I will never forget about Mrs. Bunje’s class is the day that we started the discussions when she said we could express ourselves in her class and never have to worry about being judged. I didn’t really believe her at first until we got further into the year and as we all got more and more comfortable with each other. That feeling of being able to be myself in that class is what I love and I what I will never forget. As for the thing that I will miss the most, I’m not really sure. I mean I won’t miss one thing in particular but I will miss everything that me and my classmates have experienced over this past school year. I will miss the controversial conversations, all the long in depth bloggs and OP’s, and Mrs. Bunje’s bubbling personality. For a lack of better words I am trying to say that I’m going to miss u Mrs. Bunje and I will never forget you and I hope won’t forget me.
Summer is almost here and this school year just flew by so quick. It felt like yesterday was the first day of school. When I walked in school not knowing if my teachers were going to be mean or were they going to be really cool. This class ended up being the best class of the day i always look forward on coming to this class everyday.We have so much memories in class that i dont even know were to begin. This class also tought me so much that i need to know about English. I loved it because we always did work but we always did it in a fun way which made it so much better for me as long as I learn something. For some reason this was the only class were i felt really comfortable with doing anything and it felt like i could express my self better and just be me. Thanks for the OP's i had some thing to talk about i class and i could just say it out loud and not hold everything in all the time. I wish that i could never leave this class and just have it every 2 years left in my high school,but like i said in my OP "High school is like 4 huge steps" which prepares me to be an adult and now i have to be mature enough and go own to next year and use every thing that i was tought and this class for future refrence. I thank you Mrs. Bunje for teaching us everything and for always being there for us weather if you wernt here and we had a bad sub we know that you wanted to be there with us to tell us "how has your day been so far my cute Pumkins" That is what brightens my day a teacher that cares and ask how are day was. Again I want to thank you so much Mrs. Bunje and I will never forget you!!
It's so hard for me to tell about all these things, because I know I will probably be seeing you Mrs. Bunje for the last time. :-( It's also so hard to tell what will stick with me, probably most of the moments in our class, a english class with one of the best teachers I have ever had and ever met in my life. I love the way you treat all of us. I love the fact that you don't treat me different just because i'm an exchange student, and you told me that I would be able to do all the asignments just like everybody else, and you proved that to me by treating me the way you did. I just have to thank you for that Mrs. Bunje, it's the minimum I can do. I will miss all of ours conversations in class. Time goes by so fast during our class, and I hate that. What I will miss the most, for sure, is you Mrs. Bunje (:
A wonderful teacher, who trusts us a lot and we all know we can talk to you about anything or any problem we have. I have never met a teacher that would treat their students like that, and know all of them so well just like you do Mrs. Bunje. I will never forget everything you have done for us.
I learned a lot in this class, with the blogs and our conversations (specially the ones based on the books that we read). You write amazing blogs, and all the blogs that I have answered made me think a lot on things that I probably had never thought of before. I also learned a lot about love with our conversations about the book "Their eyes were watching God." Love is a wonderful feeling, which a lot of us probably don't really know what it is, but for sure one of the things you need the most to be happy, and when you are happy, you have everything.
It's almost impossible to tell everything I learned in this class, that I will miss, that will stick with me, that I love or that I will remember, but if I could combine everything in just one, that would be for sure, the best teacher ever, and that would be you Mrs. Bunje. :)
I'm hopefully coming back one day to visit you. I'll miss you a lot!
Thank you for everything. Love you Bunje :D
I can't believe that the emding is almost here. I will miss all my friends in this class and Ms. Bunje. Who is my favorite teacher. What's going to stick with me is all the great friendships that I have gained. I loved how we would group disscuissions. Even tough I never got into it. I will miss everyone in the class. I will always remeber the fun that we had in the class. I learned that it's okay to speak your mind and when we learned about what love means and what a hypehenated modifier is. I will really miss this class and most of all I will miss Ms. Bunje.
summer is almost here and the school year is almost over. This year went by so fast. all my other years went slow. to tell you the truth i really did not say much in Mrs Bunje class. Maybe because i was shy but i regret not saying nothing much. this year went by fast because you made learning so fun and we our class period felt like we only took 10 minutes in. We had so many conversation and in all the conversation i learned somthing new. I found out that Mrs bunje is the sweetest english teacher i ever had. Also you are the most sexyest teacher i ever had. I also love how you cared about our grades. i wish i had another chance to start over with out getting left back. next year i would look forward to walk pass our class to say hi to you.i will alwas remember class 204 and Mrs bunje.
Room 204 was my favorite room to be in all day! I loved everything that we did in the class and all the books we read. The one thing that is going to stick to me the most was when I won best actor. It was a big shock to me because I thought that mike would win it for acting like a girl all the time. I didnt like when we were reading Huck finn. He does not effect how much I love the class and how many good times there were. The op were a good learning experance because not only did we learn about a lot of our calls mates, we also learned that we could trust eachother with our own personal problems. Thats what made this class the best! The way that we could talk to you was even better! You were like another student in the same situation and always helped us out. And we also learned how other people have problems and that the whole world doesnt just revole around you. So im saying thanks to Ms. Bunje for everything this year!
this year in oakcrest wasnt as bad as i thougth it would be. first off i didnt attend oakcrest my first two marking pds i was at chester high, in that school learning was out of the picture and i wasnt learning anything. my grades were horriable and my attitude couldnt have been much better, but once i moved out of that enviorment and started new i was a whole nother person. i started oak in the middle of feb. basically after mid trems was over which i didnt take. i came to oak and promised myself that i wouldnt let no one or myself get the best of me. i didnt and i made my cou0le of moths at oak one to rember. i move alot so for me to stay in oak for almost three marking pds thats is a shocker. now i came to oak with bad grades but brought them all up to A's and B's and im proad of myself. ive learned from a very special person who will always have a place with me in my mind body and soul (you:I) to never let anyone put me down and to always strive for what ever it is that your focusing on. and by you just telling me that it has made a better person not only in school but at home also. thanks and i hope the best for you next year because i mgiht not be here. luv ya bunj and always will.
Mrs.bunje when i hear your name it just puts smile on my face. I remember the first day of school. I was looking at my paper and i was thinking to myself bunje whos bunje i hope she not old or mean. I remeber walking in the class and seeing you i thougth my self she not thank gos shes not old. then i sat down I was reading her class thing and i was thinking that she was crrazy. i didnt even know her for five mins and she was calling me her pumpkin. lololol. But you turn out to be the best teacher i ever had. your so awesome. I love having one one conversations with you. I also thank you for letting me stay in your period 5/6 class i really enjoyed having you twice a day. You also seem to put up with me even when I wouldnt stop talking and you kicked me out lolol. Yoe always had my back bunje when my phone was stolen you had my back to the fullest when my huckleberry finn project was crap you had my back.You alwa s had my back And i love you for that. You also Taught me alot. When ever i thought i new the answer you made me look at it in a differnet perspective Which i loved doing. Mrs. Bunje you are hhe best enlgish teacher / teacher ever. And next i am going to stop in yuor class every day intill you throw me out and i want to know if can come during my study hall again i would really like that a whole lot. What did i love and what sticked with me in room 204 is Mrs. cassie Bunje a great teacher, friend ,just allround great person.
Wow, this pass year in school has been crazy. I remember the first time I walked throw the doors of room 204. I thought to myself, “this is the only class that is brightly colored.” Now, I look at the room and I still think of it the same. When I sat down I wonder if this years in this class was going to be hard. I love English class, its one of my favorite classes. Learning poetry, grammar and reading new books is the best. I love telling people what I’ve learned that’s new. Sadly, I didn’t get to learn what I wanted to learn. I was looking forward into learning poetry just because I love it. I wanted to improve with my grammar but we didn’t really touch that subject ever. Last, we never finish the books we’ve read. However, something good did come out of your class, sharing other people’s lives. If it wasn’t for the occasion papers, I wouldn’t have know what some of my classmates go threw. I’m not a big fan when it comes to sharing my life with people that are not close to me. Maybe, that is the reason why all my occasion papers were not as interesting as the next person. Your blogs were really the best thing for me, I got to express myself, even if you didn’t responded to them. The memories with the people I’ve meet in room 204 will stick to me. I will miss the lack of work in your class. I know the next English class I will face would give me a lot more work, which is scary because I feel really unprepared. I love that fact that I got to meet new people and got to share my opinions. Mrs. Bunje your one of the nicest people I've ever meet. You always gave me a chance on missing work. Your class is one of the classes I won’t ever forget.
Well, at this point its become a well-worn cliche here to say "Omg, i cant believe its the end of skool!" But it really makes sense as its true. I really cant. Every day i think of it now, & i think thats one less day of school. But thats also one less day of ur class, Mrs. Bunje. I really have learned so much this year, but then again, i had a spectacular teacher. I mean, English was always english & so on, but never before had i ever become so honest & attached to my english classmates as i have this year, & thats all because of you mrs. bunje; u opened up our minds, told us not to b afraid to speak them, & to always b true to who we really are. We opened up our souls to each other, often in OP's. Its a rare & special thing; u almost always attempt to put on a certain front around ur fellow classmates, but here, we were told it was ok to b intensely emotionally honest & raw. It gave us a sense of who we all were. We became like a family. We understood each other & therefore, developed strong friendships. Ive met people & made friends i hope to keep for years to come. Though along the way there may have been a few rough patches, we worked through them as a class & became stronger because of them, i think. It really does depress me to know that i wont b able to come to ur class everyday soon. I just hope i either have u as a teacher next year, or that i can stop by as often as possible.
I cant even count the things i will miss about this class, & if i was to write everything i learned id b writing a novel! But if i had to pick something that i miss the most, then it would definitely b the cause of it all: YOU mrs bunje.
You've taught me so much this year, & iv become so close w/ u that i cant imagine not talking to u everyday. Whether it b our poignant (& often hilarious) class discussions, or our more personal intellectual one-on-one conversations, i love & will miss em all.
Mrs Bunje, u r amazing, plain & simple. Dont let any other students tell u different. U r the best teacher iv ever had, & i can honestly say iv learned more in ur class this year than any other.
All i have left 2 say is: Bunje, i hope 2 c ya some time over the summer, & u better be on AIM all the time!

WELL TO START OFF I WILL MISS THIS WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR IN GENERAL. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND ROOM 204 IS A BIG PART OF IT. IM THINKING ABOUT THE BOOKS WE READ THIS YEAR. RIGHT NOW WE ARE READIN SIDDARTHA I AM GOING TO BE HONEST I AM BEHIND A FEW CHAPTERS. BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE A BOOK ! I DO LIKE THIS ONE. IT HAS A LOT OF INSPIRATINAL THINGS IN IT. THE CRUCIBLE IS DEFINITELY STICKING OUT. I WILL ALWAYS REMBER THE “ SWEATING LIKE A STALLION ” LINE FROM IT AND THEN EVERYONE NON-STOP SAYING IT EVEN FIVE MONTHS LATER. BUT NOW ITS OLD AND THE NEW LINE IS SOMETHING FROM SIDDARTHA PROBABLY SOMETHING FROM THE KAMALA CHAPTER. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR TALKS. I DIDN’T SO MUCH LEARN GRAMMAR TYPE OF LESSONS BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING BETTER AND THAT’S LIFE LESSONS. EVERY CONVERSATION WE HAD WAS INSPIRATIONAL EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T REALLY TALK MUCH IN THE DISCUSSIONS. IT WAS MAINLY BECAUSE I WAS REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE BEING ASKED. BUT DON’T GET ME WRONG WE DID LEARN THE GRAMMER TYPE STUFF ! I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE CHILI COOK-OFF AND THE KAR AOKE THAT GAVE ME A HEADACHE. BUT IT WAS STILL FUN. I WONT FORGET ALL OF THE OFF TOPIC “ INAPPROPRIATE ” THINGS THAT PEOPLE WOULD JUST BLURT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISCUSSINO BECAUSE SOME HOW IT WOULD TIE IN. I AM GOING TO BE HONEST. IM NOT FRIENDS WITH A FEW PEOPLE IN OUR CLASS BUT I CAN SAY I LEANRED SOMETHING IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM EVERY SINGLE PERSON. IN SOME WAY EVERY PERSONS THOUGHTS OR ACTIONS OR JUST ANYTHING HIT ME. SOMETIMES IT WAS A BAD THING BUT IT WAS MOSTLY A GOOD THING. AND YOU MS BUNJE TAUGHT ME A LOT. ALWAYS HAD ME THINKING ! AND I THINK EVERY ONE WOULD AGREE. ALTHOUGH I AM EXCITED FOR SUMMER I DON’T REALLY WANT THIS YEAR TO END. BUT NEXT YEAR WILL COME SO SOON ! SO MS BUNJE YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT YOUR BABIES.
ILL MISS YOU MS BUNJE ! BUT ILL SEE YOU SOOON ! =D
EVERYONE HAVE A GREATTT SUMMMER =D
Mrs. Bunje, you're the rawest teacher I've ever had. No teacher in all of my life has ever let me express my opinions to the degree that you have. Not only my opinions, but everybody in the class's. The things that kids have said on their OP's random conversations, and even certain reports have made me learn more about them and also more about you. I will always remember you as being a very selfless person. You always think of the kids first. Sometimes I even start thinking you want more for the kids than the kids themselves. That means alot, too. Your class has given me more self esteem from complimenting me on my guitar playing to inspiring me and influencing me to think in different ways. This will carry on in the future. I can tell you one thing. If I don't have you for a teacher next year, I'll be upset. No other teacher has the ability to teach me in a way that you have and still are. Your unique way of shying away from the English book and making things fun is raw. Alright Mrs. Bunje, I'm gonna go. Either way, though, I will visit you next year no matter what.

Well, its amazing how this school year is almost over. It seemed like it went by to soon but im sorry to say im happy. I wont have to wake up at 5 in the morning and i wont have to take gym really early in the morning, i can just sleep. Thats why im happy. When i firsted walked into room 204, i thought it was really bright and one of the nicest class rooms in oakcrest because most rooms are plain. Th experiences shared in room 204 will stick with me and will live as memeories. I loved it that we didnt really have much work and that we didnt really do anything in class as to worksheets and all that paper junk. I also liked word wall. That was fun. Comming into english class, i thougth it was going to be very hard because at mainland my honors english class was extremely hard, but all the work i had done prepared me for my next year which was this year. I came to realize that i didnt need to do any of that hard stuff because i didnt need to know it this year. This year we didnt really touch on grammar, poems,and the roots of writing a good paper/research paper. It upsets me to say that next year i will probably have a hard time in english because i know that i am not prepared to take a junior english. We werent really prepared this year to face harder english classes and teachers who arent as nice as you. The work in our class was relatively easy, but the papers were hard. I wanted to be taught how to right an excellent paper in detail. I loved the books we read in our class. They each had an amazing story and something to learn from each as we finished reading them. This year i learned the Hero's Journey. I never knew what it meant until it was taught to me in room 204. I dislike writing papers because i cant do them very well but writing the hero's journey paper helped me understand it. The grades on the papers were harsh for kids who didnt get refreshed on how to write papers like me but we all got through it. I never really thought of our room 204 english class as an english class, i mostly thought of it as a class where a topic is brought up and opinions and voices were heard. Sort of like a debate class, but much better. I enjoyed english this year and getting to meet everyone. I loved doing the blogs too. They let me speak my mind, and they let me be heard because i dont really talk in class and when i did sometimes i was never heard. English class this year was quite an experience. Even though i didnt talk much i learned alot from all of our discussions. I was very pleased knowing that if i ever had a problem i could go to you Ms. Bunje and let you know so i could receive some help or advice. One bad thing was that i felt like everyone in the class including me acted different in 204, like acted nicer, and sweeter, and calm, but once the bell rang everyone would go back to normal because we didn't have to be nice or sweet or calm. I am going to miss room 204 and the great vibe it brought. Your class was one that i will never forget and actually one of my favorite classes. You are a very good person and it is great that in class we got to have parties and you even risked your job by lettng us do things like the parties and the bringing in food. You spoke your mind and made things happen that probably would have never happened if you didnt go against the curriculum a little and bended things. Thanks for letting me and my friends use your room, for all the help, and for all the oppornuties to hand late work in. Congratulations on being rehired and I hope you have an amazing summer.Maybe i'll see during the summer if not see you next year.
Thought out the year in English 204 I have sat back and observed. I observed the students react with the students. I observed the students react with the teacher and I have watched the teacher react with the students. In conclusion I have came up with my own lesson of how students learn in different settings. When the teacher seems to care more for the students, the students begin to attach them selves more to the class making them learn better because they are being babied in a way. This isn’t nesccarly a bad thing because some kids learn better this way. In my case I learned that I can learn the same either way and I don’t need someone to motivate me. That was one of the self lesson I was fortunate to pick up from my experiences in room 204.
In my academic experience in room 204 I was able to learn this year more about letting yourself go in your writing. When you wright it should be interesting and if not than you won’t show through your paper. I was fortunate to grasp the concept therefore it will help me in my papers that will come in my future.
Well like most english classes, there are usually a lot of discusions, but i never really said anything in them until this year. For some reason in this class i dont really mind to say something when i want to even if it is out of the ordinary. You got a little upset a couple times over the things i said, but i was particpating atleast and i think i learned a lot from other people talking to. I heard about different people and learned what things meant, even if i got up and looked it up in the dictionary. I like this class because i felt so open and was not afraid about anything. You are a good teacher, unlike the one i had last year but he is gone now so i guess that means something. Atleast you will be here next year! awesome so that way i will be able to visit you. We can talk about how i liked this years class so much better becuase i was more free. I love how we talk about things becuase i learn things from hearing them , rather than writing them down. I wish al Engliseh classes were like this one!
I really can't believe this school year is coming to an end. It went by so fast. It seems like every year school go by faster and faster. Before you know it The 2 years we have now is going to be over and we will be going to college and trying to get our own crib to chill at. I'm going to miss room 204. Although I didn't really talk much I love having those deep discussions. I was glad to see that we could talk about anything from sex, to race, to hair. No other english class you could sit and just talk about stuff like that. I remember at the beginning of the year I didn't think Mrs. Bunje liked me because I didn't do none of my work. I just didn't care,but then I realized that time was running out and I needed to start taking that class more seriously, so that is when I started to do all my best at all my work. Even if I didn't understand it at least attempt it. In room 204 I got to learn a little about all of my classmates and even you Mrs. Bunje. In your class we can talk and discuss things that don't have nothing to do with the subject,but also sit back and write a paper on whatever like our op's. I hated having to write these papers at the beginning of the year. I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. I had no idea what I wanted to write about. I use to say there is nothing interesting about my life. But as I got use to it it got a lot easier to write something. I'm not going to lie i'm going to miss this english class, including you Mrs. Bunje!!!!!
I feel that my favorite part of this school year in English class would have to be the occasional papers. I liked them, not so much for the fact that we didn't really have to do anything except listen, but i got to learn about other people in my class. Sure, you learn little things throughout the year, but with these, you get to hear about a whole new part of someone's life. Whether it be from going hiking or playing soccer. Sometimes i like to learn different things about people so i can see where they're coming from in some of there answers in the class discussions. I just think it's interesting to learn about people and their lives. Hopefully that didn't sound creepy or anything. I guess i like to mix it up a bit and not do the same thing everyday, even though we don't really do the same thing everyday. It's kind-of difficult to explain, but at the same time really simple. I think i'm just rambling now. Speaking of occasional papers, i really should get started on mine. In the end, i think i'll miss my sophomore year in english and everything that went along with it. But, that's just another chapter in my life and there are many more to come.
This year has been my best year so far. for once i was actually excited to come to a class. i couldnt wait to see what topic we would run into in each class period.45 minutes isnt enough time when you have the best teacher that keeps you interested. you always taught me new and interesting things. sometimes things teachers wouldnt usually teach us. thats what i like about you, your not afraid to teach and you dont just teach out of the boring text book. room 204 was more than a classroom it was like a home,or just a place to go when you needed help or just someone to talk to. it was very comfortable and we learned alot about eachother. i never did this before i never knew what any of my classmates were doing out of school unless i was close to them. i liked it, i learned that everyone has there problems no matter how big or small they are, noone lives a perfect life even though it might seem like it. my favorite book that we read was their eyes were watching god becasue it showed how strong women are. the one thing that will always stick with me is how to think deeper about such a simple question because nothing is simple if you really think about it. i will miss all the questions that you couldnt even answer that will have me thinking forever. i will miss having you as a teacher, someone that actually cares about her students and isnt afraid to stick up for them. i will miss all of my classmates that have also taught me alot and i will miss all your different types and colors of shoes everyday. i loved how you would have a plan for the day and most of the time we would end up talking about something different, but it was never a waste of 45 minutes because no matter what we talked about you always had questions to come back at us that made us think more. i loved how you shared your stories with us and wasnt afraid to cry when you read your paper because most teachers act like thir perfect. you might not think that your a good teacher but you really are and you dont need to go to those workshops to learn how to teach, if anything you should be the one teaching them. dont ever change the way you teach. thank you bunje i will come and visit you next year love you <3
The thing that will stick with me is all the knowledge that I have gained and all of the new people I have met and made freinds with. I loved hearing about other people through the OP'S. Hearing every ones stories about them selfs and things that happened to them wether it was good or bad was very interesting. I will miss the OP'S and the many confersations that would take us off topic. I will always remember the people I met this year and of corse I will definately remember you Mrs. Bunje. I learned how to an intext sitation which befor this year I had no idea existed. I also learned what a hyperbole was and what a hypehenated modifier was.
ahh now I can see why you reminded me to do this blog! you wanna hear all the bad things I gotta say about you...lol I'M JUST KIDDING! :) you already kno what it is ms. bunje. I love you almost more than life itself. I remember getting my schedule and seeing your name and saying "haha whatever man has the last name bunje has gotta be super gay" but obviously I was wrong...because your a lady, not a guy :D and your not homo in any way. maybe HAPPY?! but anyway, you came into the classroom, and I saw the nervousness in your face. I still have the note card that had my name on it from when you had to try to remember our names. I'm gonna miss the times where we...dare I say it...talked about sex...and discussed the lessons in the books we were reading, pondered on where jason was, when we worked together to make the room like Salem Massachusetts, when we had word wall, when we got to hear everybody's creative OPs, when we talked about religion, beliefs, opinions on life, love, marriage, and respect...the list goes on. I've laughed in that class, I've cried, I've gotten angry, anxious, scared. I've felt every emotion in room 204. from the idea of numerology, the number 204 equals 6 (2+0+4=6) and on level six your talents/strengths are warm, nurturing, and happily domestic; reliable. it also says that your general leanings are taking care of loved ones, and finding safety and comfort. if that doesn't describe you and the vibe that room 204 gives off, I dont kno what does. our one-on-one conversations have changed me in a way that I've blossomed, but I'm gonna be honest, RECENTLY I haven't been acting the way that is probably best for me. but I'm learning, and I'm trying to learn to do it on my own without calling out for help. I've learned that the opposite of love IS NOT hate...and that still boggles my mind but whatever :) I've learned how fake people can be just from listening to certain peoples comments in class, I've learned that mary warren might be the only character that I'll remember from The Crucible because of joe. but most of all, I've learned that there IS a teacher that is not just a body that stands at the front of the class and speaks out their rear end. there is a teacher that defines its definition. you teach in ways that older teachers and professors wish they could. and your the only teacher, besides ms. erickson, that says that my writing is good and I really do appreciate that. your smart, BEAUTIFUL inside and out, and very wise. sometimes I'll be thinkin that your old from the stuff you say because its just feels like you've been on this earth for so long that you know every life lesson in the book. but when I look at you, honestly, I see a 25 year old lady (shh! people dont need to kno the real age) hehe. I will never ever ever ever forget room 204 and ofcourse the most important person in it, you ms. bunje. I cant say that the students in my class have changed me or affected me because they really havent. why did you even bother putting that this isn't about you when EVERYTHING in 204 is about you?! your room gives off this warm feeling, even when its below 30 degrees outside! but I didnt mean to babble on so I'll wrap this up. I love you, and I mean it. you can never say that you are not loved by anyone, even by the time that your 80 because even then I'll still love you. saggy old wrinkly skin and all ms. b. peace and love ma sista! <333333
I will definately miss all of our class conversations because they are all funny and insightful. I will also miss our class because I have a lot of friends in it. I will not miss the occasional papers because they were hard to think of and it would always take me a long time to do. I will also not miss these blogs not because they are hard, but because they are easy to forget about. I learned to become a better writer by using hyperbole and simile. At least I hope I have become a better writer. I did enjoy The Crucible because it was exciting and action packed. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Their Eyes were Watching God I did not like that much because they were boring and there was no suspense.
this year was truely great. i can honestly say that i have had more fun in this class than any other class this year or maybe even any other class to date. I loved how the class was so free and open to discussion and how we could talk about any thing if it was on our mind. i could walk in to the class room every morning and feel happy and know that if my day wasnt going exactly right i could leave that all behind me as i walk in to room 204. I knew that i could vent if i needed to and period 2 always help put a smile in my day. I am gonna miss every one in our class. The op's were great to listen to and it would let our class mates come closer to one another. No other class lets that happen. I can truely say i will miss this class next year with out a dought. I am gonna miss you too miss Bunje.
It is sad that our time is so quickly finishing, but i know that i will see you again next year, which is really only in three months, so i would enjoy my time off if i were you, because even though you'll miss us, i know youll miss the beach just as much when september comes. But anyway, I loved english class this year, all the people in it were really great, and i love to write, so it was definately my favorite class this year. I learned alot, one being in myself. I learned that im better at writing than i thought, and thats thanks to you ms. bunje. i always liked writing, but never thought i was anything great, however, you would always tell me otherwise even if it was simple. You kind of acted like i knew it already and said it just carelessly, which made me feel really great, because you would always expect something great from me. so i want to thank you, for making me a better writer than i was. il miss you, and ill visitm you next year when i want to skip .. haha. <333
My time spent in room 204 was great. I learned so much. The class discussion were my favortie part of the class. It was great being able to have mature discussions about life lessons and books etc.Ive learned more about who I am and that we all are creative and unique in our own ways. I think i actually am on my way to really figuring out what love is and I definately owe it too this class. The discussions made me leave for the hallways with something to ponder about.I will always remember the OPs they were agreat way for us to express and share some of our life experiences. There were some sad and some enlightening i liked them both. Room 204 has been an amazing experience and Im glad i got to be a part of it. I hope your my teacher next year tooo Bunjeee =)
The one thing I will always keep from being in this class will be my sense of voice. I no longer feel like whatever I say doesn't matter in this school. I feel that just because a teacher says something is so it doesn't have to be. I feel that I'm now entittled to my own voice and that someone will listen to me. I will probably miss writing ocasional papers even though I take forever to write them and really get lazy about it I still really love writing them. I will always remeber my teacher Ms Bunje, duh :D. I learneded ho 2 speell veery goud aNd us GrammEr VerrY goUd two. In all seriousness I did learn to0 better write.
Wow! I think this is going to be the saddest blog yet. I loved everything and anything that was and happened in room 204. Im going to miss YOU MS. BUNJE. I dont even want to leave for the summer i'd rather stay in our room. To tell the truth the things we did in your class will stick with me more than any other class that i have had this entire year, meaning i've learned the most in room 204. I will always remember your smile and the times we all laughed. Also when crystal was flying her kite!! Lol! I've also learned to look at things with a new perspective, dealing with work or just life. Also I learned that every thing that you learn doesn't all have to be boring and dull. I love this class and i don't ever want it to end but unfortunatly everything is going to come to an end.
there are many things that i will take out of room 204. many memories and knowledge and friends. i have learned alot this year in room 204 even though i was not there the whole year i was there for most of it. for almost the whole first marking period i was in honors english 2. i dropped that class because it was a cohort with ap government and i did not need government and it was just too hard. well anyway i came into this class near the end of the first marking period and i am very happy i did. i loved all of our madd deep conversations that we had almost every day. i will miss the layed back attitude that made class more tolerable but at the same time helped me get my work done faster. i will always remember all of the good times i have had in 204 and the many things i have learned throughout the course of the year. i learned how to be true to myself and how to just find what truly makes me happy. i have learned alot about other people to and what they are like inside. lastly i will never forget everything that happened this year in room 204
Classroom 204 there is very little that we havent disscussed within these walls. Every topic broght emotion which always made for an all around amazing class. With each disscussion there were oppositions but we always respected one another. Ms bunje i will miss our classroom disscussions and always remember the spontaneous dance battles. I will miss the best teacher ever and i learned within those walls to be me no matter whose watching and thats something i'll carry with me for ever.THANK YOU MS.BUNJE
room 204 was fun this year i expect a little from english this year but it was really fun. i cant wait to see what next year will be like if it will be as much fun as this year. room 204 made alot for me i liekd the partys and the 2 out fo 3 books we red there were fun and eveyone was cool beside a couple of kids (jordan) i dont care if he reeds it hes ignerant i wont forget him. anyways the kids in our class were coll i loved my teacher she was fun and mad learning intresting i cant wait till next year
THIS IS HARD... I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE 204 IT'S MY SECOND HOME HUNNY BUNNY(BUNJE). THE SCHOOL YEAR I'VE SPEND IN 204 WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND WILL FOREVER LEAVE A SCAR. THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT I WILL CARRY IN MY LIFE BAG FROM 204. THE NEW FRIENDS I'VE MET AND THE PEOPLE I KNEW FROM BEFORE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN OR LOST. I L&HEARTS;VE YOU GUYS. I L&HEARTS;VE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL CLASS. THE ROOM IT SELF HAS SO MUCH LIFE AND MEANING. WHO KNEW THAT A ROOM CAN BE VALUED SO MUCH TO SO MANY PEOPLE? SO MANY THINGS WILL BE MISSED. OUR STARS, THE OP'S, THE BLOGS(SOMETIMES LOL), THE CONVERSATIONS, THE LAUGHS AND EVEN THE CRIES. EVERYTHING WILL BE MISSED. OMG I LEARNED SO MUCH THIS YEAR. FROM TEACHERS AND EVEN MY PEERS. I LEARNED THAT EVERYTHING IS A TEST. YOU MIGHT NOT PASS BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS GET A SECOND CHANCE, AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET THE SECOND CHANCE YOU CAN WORK THROUGH IT. SOMETIMES THING GET REALLY TOUGH BUT NOTHING IS PUT BEFORE US WE CAN'T HANDLE... SO STICK IT THROUGH BIG GUY YOU GOT THIS. I L&HEARTS;VE YOU PERIOD3 AND MS. BUNJE
I almost feel as if there is not enough time in this day/night to write all the things that i learned in room 204. you taught us so much ms. bunje and i tank you for each and every little thing. whether it was how to do a intext citation, or our deep conversations about whatever we branched off into! haha. some times it felt like we would drift off and stray from the lesson and start random irrelevant conversations, but when you look back on it, every conversation gave me something that i can take and apply to my life to help make me a better person. I also thank my classmates for everything that i learned from them. they also taught me so much through the discussions and OPs. I cant just pick one thing that i am going to miss because i am going to miss everything! im going to miss evryone!!! it is hard to think that i wont be attending oak next year. just the thought of it comes close to bringing me to tears. I am going to miss each and every person from room 204, especially you ms. bunje... thank you so much for everything!
p.s. my english teacher over at pilgrim is going to be tired of hearing about a certain MS. BUNJE!!! =]
What will deff. stcik with me is the same that you dress.I will always rmember the shoes that you wore and the clothes I loved them.I loved that we always had fun in class we never did just one thing,all the time we switched up.You made stuff fun made learning fun.I learned alot in class over this year. Such as gammar and how to write better.I also learned how to use use quotes and things for a research paper.Occasional papers helped me talk more in front of the class,because I am shy.So that has helped me. Iam still shy but not as much as i was before.
This school year and many other I have learned so much. My teachers are always teaching me new things. Some I like to learn about and others I don’t Mrs. Bunje you have taught me and everyone in the class room 204. I am very lucky and happy that I had you as a teacher and I can not think of one teacher I rather have for English! I am sad that we only have a few days left and that I will not be having you as a teacher next year. Hopefully I will be seeing you in the hallways and visiting you when ever I have a chance. This school year went by so fast. I remember thinking that I could not wait for summer, and I am not going to lie I am very excited for summer but I am upset that I will have to leave room 204 and knowing that we do not have a lot of time left is sad. I know that I will still be seeing everyone again next year so I have something to look forward to for next year’s school year. I was always happy to be going to room 204 there is never a dull moment and you never know what to expect. You are always thinking of ways to make the lessons more fun and you even gave us a chance to do what you do and I must say it was not as easy and you make it look. I am always looking forward to out class discussions, and hope that we will do the Bunje bar even though there is not that much time left. You are always finding new things for us to talk about. From the first day of school I knew you were going to do a good job! It is your first year here and already all the student love you <3 and you are all our favorites :] I could not of asked for a better teacher ever! You are truly the best Mrs. Bunje.
