Children are laughing in history class; it sounds funny, but it is true in Adrian High School. We always hear students in Mrs. Zimmerman’s class laughing. Mrs. Zimmerman enjoys teaching middle school and high school in Adrian. She teaches mathematics, geography, and language arts in the middle school, and she teaches social studies in the high school.

She makes the difficult subjects into easy subjects; she always has activities during World Studies and U.S. Studies class, which help students better understand the material. She also has videos about history to show her students, which makes it easier to learn in an entertaining way.  Students always enjoy her class, and most of the students in Adrian say Mrs. Zimmerman is their favorite teacher! Everyone has learned a lot from her classes.
