Featured Staff Member Mr. Prater

Mr. Prater is one of our most humorous teachers here at Five Points Elementary! He always makes jokes and is hilarious! But he can be very serious too. He loves working here, and he loved school as a kid. His favorite subject was science because he loves doing experiments and working with space and the Earth! Besides loving science he teaches it too! He doesn’t teach only science he teaches Math, Reading, Social Studies, and English and like I said before science! With all this teaching in his hands he must have it hard, nope, to him teaching is just something that comes naturally to him so he thinks it is easy, he spends lots of time preparing for lessons which must make it easy for him, he has fun while doing this. Another thing that makes it easy for him is how long he has been teaching! He has been teaching for 5 years and that is a lot, now he teaches the 3rd grade which he has been teaching for most of his career as a teacher! Since I said he was funny you must be wondering why he is teaching instead of some other job, well he got inspired to teach because he has tried a lot of fun activities in his life and he wanted to try something new that he’s never done before! Also his wife teaches second grade and he worked with her students which was fun to him! Well, as you can see Mr. Prater is a very fun guy to be around!
