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 :)
