The portal met the teacher V. Uldrikis and her pupils – students of the 2nd grade of Jānis Čakste Secondary School – when they were visiting the artist Ināra Liepa.
In the gray hall of the “Roman Garden” gallery, I. Liepa led a master class – colorful and cheerful miracle birds were made from various materials. “Because we are waking up spring,” she explained.
The result pleases and pleases. Everyone has done their work from the heart, wishes are written on the bird. A corresponding pad, so that the child can then put it on a smooth surface at home.
“I want the child to look at his creative work and it inspires him that he succeeded in creating it.”
I. Liepa is happy to work with V. Uldrike’s classmate. “You can feel that the teacher had worked with the children before coming here – she had told them where they would come, how they should behave. Of course, the children are alive, chattering, but if I asked them to listen, their mouths were closed for the moment and no one opened their eyes. It was easy to work.”
The class was prepared to surprise the artist – I. Liepai recited poems about birds, dedicated a song.
V. Uldriķe had invited the mothers of two children – Aneta Bērziņa and Rita Feldmani – to help her look after the large group of students.
“Coolthat there is a teacher who is so enterprising and goes somewhere with 25 children.
It is still a test for the teacher, because the children are so different, from different families, with different perceptions of things,” praised A. Bērziņa, Oskar’s mother.
She remembers what the teacher said when they met in the 1st grade – that real education is outside of school.
“And this, in my opinion, describes this teacher very well – she is erudite, interested in literature and history. With the experience that children gain by walking and participating in many places, they learn not only something for the school curriculum, but also social skills that are simply important to them. The teacher is strict, but at the same time very sweet.”
Children have respect for the teacher. If it is said that the notebook should be neat, then the children also take this into account. He treats his school affairs accurately and carefully.
Rinalda’s mother, Rita, has observed that the teacher takes care of each child, is supportive, and this is exactly what the child especially needs during the transition from kindergarten to the next level of education.
“In general, this is my parenting style, to take children to different places,”
V. Uldriķe assured the portal.
Been to theater performances, exhibitions, poetry events and many other places.
“We have cooperation with a children’s library, we are on the jury of readers. In March, we went to Riga, we received awards at the closing ceremony. Through culture, through the fact that we don’t just sit inside the school walls, but go outside, the children are enriched,” the teacher believes.
The teacher has worked at Jāņa Čakste secondary school for more than 10 years. “We have the best school,” she said warmly and with a smile. However, it was not hidden that thoughts of a peaceful old age had crept in.
Would this be the last school year? “I’m ripe for it,” she admitted.
“my nervous system can’t handle it anymore, I get emotional, nervous.”
I. Liepa says about the teacher: “She is unique. When the Doll Museum opened, I noticed her right away. She wanted to know everything, took pictures, asked for an autograph. Every time he came to exhibition openings, he showed genuine interest. Because all this was then told to the children. I think she was made for the job of a teacher. Very true.”
