May 9 is Teacher Appreciation Day

I work at a school age care program so it's kind of nice getting some appreciation from parents and other school staff. I do love the kids.

Iwas thinking back to a teacher that really touched my life and thought this would be an interesting topic to post stories about.

My teacher was Mrs. Shore, 9th grade English teacher. She always made learning fun. We learned our parts of speech to songs she made up, like Adjectives... to the tune of Rolling On the River, and Infinitives to the Tune of Another One Bites The Dust.

She also was into Shakesphere. She introduced me to the world of Shakesphere by giving us a free trip to Penn State University on a Friday night to see McBeth . This was a big thing for kids from a small, rural high school. We did have to do extra credit work to earn the trip,of course.

We also staged our own McBeth scenes. I will never forget the guys who did the scene as the three weird sisters and used muppets, like Animal, Ms. Piggy, and Gonzo as the spirits.

What great memories of a great Teacher...
