Mr. Christensen is the most understanding teacher I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable walking into his room. He welcomes everyone no matter their background. He's a very open teacher making it a lot easier to connect with him, giving us a more comfortable learning environment. He always cheers us on when we do well on a test or answer a question correctly. He encourages mistakes because he knows mistakes lead to improvement. He’s always willing to explain something further no matter how many times he’s already explained it, just to make sure everyone is able to get the work done. He is very interested in learning about each and every student, giving us a safe person to talk to when we need help with something personal.
