Even though my daughter has technically moved on to a different classroom, that doesn't stop her from enjoying every moment in Mr. John's room when she is dropped off and kids are combined, moved around, etc. His calm and caring demeanor makes it easy for all of the kids, even the ones who have never even had him (like my younger son), to truly enjoy being with him. His completely understands what students need to learn, grow and feel safe with regards to a structured, stable, and serene environment. He makes it a point to get down on each child's level and learn about them individually, even if they are not a 'friend' in his class. On top of maintaining a calm and caring classroom, he is also ready to be goofy and play around with the kids. Overall, he definitely has a passion for making each day fantastic for all of the kids in the building.
