A “Giant” Teacher
Read & answer: What’s Tim Lammers like?
Tim Lammers is a kindergarten teacher at the Earth School in New York. He is 2 metres tall.
Every day, he has to lower his head to walk through doors and bend down to talk to his pupils. He walks carefully so that he won't step on his little pupils.
“He is active and funny. We like to play with him,” says one of his pupils, Emma.
“He is as tall as a tree. He’s special to us,” says Eric, a cute boy.
“He’s our ‘giant’ teacher,” says Emily.
“He is active in PE, graceful in music, strict in maths, funny in art, and smart in science. He is a good guy,” says the principal of the Earth School.
“I am happy to be a kindergarten teacher. I like to stay with my pupils. I’m glad to be the ‘giant protector’ for my kids,” Tim Lammers tells the reporter.
