Favorite Teacher Scavenger Hunt and Giveaway

I am happy to be joinin' Erin from Miss Lifesaver and 

Susan from Middle School OCD

for their "300" Celebration Scavenger Hunt and Giveaway.

So happy for them!

Most of you readin' this have been influenced by a special

teacher at some point in your life.  

A teacher that went above and beyond.

A teacher that shared their love of learnin' with you.

Someone who probably made you want to be a teacher yourself.

My favorite teacher was my first grade teacher, Mrs. Gillette.

I remember Mrs. Gillette callin' all of the students to the carpet to read every day.

She would sit in her chair and read with such expression and love. 

When she read aloud to us, it was my very favorite part of the day.

I wanted to read just like her.

Along with my parents, Mrs. Gillette helped foster a love of readin' in me 

that has stuck with me ever since.

I LOVE TO READ!

The sayin' "It's a small world" is so very true.

I moved 600 miles away from my hometown about 8 years ago.

When I was talkin' to a colleague about where I had moved from, she 

said..."You wouldn't by chance happen to know a Mrs. Gillette would you?

She's my next door neighbor."

I jumped up and down screamin' and yellin'...

"YES, SHE WAS MY FIRST GRADE TEACHER.

SHE WAS MY FAVORITE TEACHER!"

 My colleague was so excited and went home and asked Mrs. Gillette 

if she remembered me....and guess what?

She did....TWENTY FIVE YEARS later.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but definitely super cool!  

We have the opportunity to be the Mrs. Gillettes of the world.

We have the opportunity to inspire every child that walks through our door.

Thank you Mrs. Gillette for inspirin' me and teachin' me.
