When you first meet Mr. Motley, you soon realize he is a funny guy. But it’s when you get into a class with him that you find he’s a fun teacher as well. He said his favorite part of teaching Language Arts is interacting with the students. He likes it even better when he sees the reactions of the kids when explaining new things, be it horror or understanding. I asked him about his favorite food, he replied,
“Ham and scalloped potatoes, of course.”

And to drink with that?
“Just plain old black coffee would do me fine.”

Then I asked him about his hobbies, and after a quick second or two, he said,
“Well, I use to collect stamps…” then quickly added, “I read a lot too.”  

Now, if you talk to any of Mr. Motley’s friends, they’ll say that he really likes talking about his kids, so I decided to ask him about them.
“I have four kids, Joel is about 20 and is taking Chemistry at the University of Saskatchewan, Bethany is 16 and she attends Strathmore High School, Cosmin is thirteen and, actually, comes to this school. And my youngest is Ema who is, 9 years old.”

Not only does he have kids, he has pets too. All of which he loves very much, by the way.
“I have a cat and a dog. Levi, which is a Yorkshire Terrier Poodle mix, is really tiny. My cat’s named Tessa and she is about 11 years old.”
