I love causes and it's wonderful to know about your post. Chocolate crinkles look good :)
My favorite teacher taught me in HS English and was a lovely person. She was very giving and supportive.
One of my favorite teachers was my Home Ec. teacher. She was also my cheerleading sponsor. She always had such fun ideas and was a sweet lady. I still see her from time to time and she has become a friend.
My favorite teacher was Mr. Ogradnek. He taught Social Studies in High School and always made it so interesting!
Probably because of the influence of some of the teachers in my life, I am now a teacher myself. I teach High School Family and Consumer Sciences. I teach part-time so I can still take care of my family....both are very full, rewarding jobs!
I have some of the Kohl's books and stuffed animals... it is a great cause. I have been teaching preschool for 22 years and will retire from this wonderful job in June!
Melissa, I am a former teacher, retirement is grand but I miss the children. I know devote that energy to my Bible class students. I always enjoy reading your blog, and find your blogs very encouraging.

My favorite teacher was my 5th grade teacher , Mrs. Thorpe. She was so sweet and kind. Growing up in Florida in unairconditioned schools, Afternoons were really hot. After recess, she would have us come in and lay our heads on the desk and she would read us classic books for a half hour. We all loved it. At Christmas time the district decided to move teachers around instead of busing kids for desegregation and she was the teacher choosen for her grade to be transferred. I was heart broken but I never forgot her. She went put of her way to make each child feel special.
Hello Melissa..I had many great teachers but one of my all time favorites was Mrs. Marsh.
She was from Long Island, N.Y.
She taught fourth grade. She made me feel so special and told me I was very talented. It meant so much to me as a little girl.
Then, sadly, she left in the middle of one school year and we had a going away party for her. How I wept!
I remember we took up a collection and bought her a painting on velvet!
Imagine, all these decades later and I still remember that sweet human being.
Thanks for your posts. They are always elegant and lovely. Susan
I had a lot of really good teachers. I remember Mrs. Osburn, my fifth grade teacher, because she had such a kind spirit and made everyone feel special. She even called my home when I was sick to check on me, and it meant so much to me!
I am a teacher, currently a substitute teacher, and a parent volunteer for my 3 kids. And, my husband is a high school principal!
My favorite teacher was the principal of the grade school I went to. When I graduated from grade school and then in high school he helped me and another girl in a project that we had for our high school.
