She is a really nice teacher. When you first join her class you may not be used to her because of your previous teacher (not naming any names). But compared to other teachers, she is extremely flexable and helpful. You will learn stuff while not having that much homework and overall she is a great teacher.

Ms. Sidenberg is a very flexible teacher, if needed, she will extend the due dates. She always lets you know about your projects beforehand and how much they count in your report card. She gives a reasonable and flexible amount of time to do each assignment. If there is a period of time where there is an overwhelming amount of projects, then afterward, she will give you about a week to relax. Ms. Sidenberg also takes time to write the rubrics', and grades each assignment based off of it. Read the rubric and review your work. She encourages you to bring whatever you need (for example, fidget toys, pop-its, fidget spinners) to help with your learning and fully supports whatever strategy will best help you (as long as it is not a distraction to others). Overall, just try your best and she will support you in your learning. -Lya (Student)

Ms. Sidenberg is a great teacher, she is very supportive and she isn't one of those teachers who have a super-duper high expectations. She tells you beforehand about the projects, marks and assignments and also about the rubrics. She also explains the rubrics to make sure that we are as successful as possible and fully understand. Ms. Sidenberg is a very open-minded teacher and is willing to hear suggestions from her students. As long as you try your best, she will keep that in mind and grade accordingly (in the learning skills section). She is very reasonable when it comes to report cards. Great teacher :_
