Teacher Appreciation Giveaway!

This is my first Blog Hop and I'm so excited :)  Please make sure you check out the other blogs and register for the giftcards!  On May 5th there will be a $20 TPT gift card given away!  Today, as part of the Blog Hop, we are sharing about a special teacher.

I have always loved school.  I'm pretty much a major nerd :)  I went to college not knowing what I wanted to be growing up.  In fact, I didn't decide on education until my junior year.  I was actually a computer science major, and I ended up with a double major.

I moved quite a bit, and I don't think I ever had a teacher I didn't like.  Reflecting back, I would say that all my teachers had the following qualities:
  • High standards
  • Loved students
  • Loved teaching
  • Experts in their subject area
  • Believed that all students could be successful.
I even had a PE teacher that was able to convince me that I was athletic!  That took quite a bit of work on his part!

I have zero pictures from my childhood (they are all at my moms), but here is one that a friend posted on Facebook of us in 1987!  I am still friends with most of my classmates (even though I moved a year after the picture was taken) and I am Facebook friends with the teacher :)  In fact, she was the reason why I enjoyed math so much in high school and college :)

    Bridget,
    I can't figure out which student is you in the picture. Do tell! I think the qualities you mentioned make for an outstanding teacher!

    I can relate to all the pictures being at your mom's house. Mine are too! I decided to just focus on my kids, and for them, it was hard to limit. I decided to post pictures from kindergarten...so cute! So glad you joined in on the fun, Bridget!

    All of my pictures are at my parents' house too, except for the ones I took off with a while back! Moving around a lot had to be hard. I remember moving just before 8th grade, and that was tough. The qualities of a great teacher are perfect! I always hope that my children have teachers like you described.
