To learn and never be filled, is wisdom.To teach and never be weary, is love.

Although I'm retired, I love to volunteer at school.
Last week, I had the pleasure of serving as a judge for the county-wide Spelling Bee.
I was thrilled that one of my former first graders was a contestant.
My sweet, little first grader has grown into a wonderful young lady.
I'm very proud of you, Chloe!
Happy Trails,
How furry khool!

Very sweet! :) They touch our hearts don't they. I just finished a long-term sub in 4th grade...I was with them from day 1. It was 5 months and their other teacher stopped in once during that time so they were really my class. I miss them so much.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Chloe for making it as a contestant! What a great accomplishment! And your words to Chloe at the end of your post are very heartwarming. What a wonderful teacher you are to write such supportive and loving words to your former student.
ReplyDeleteBuddy, love your picture and love the quote!

Reconnecting with former students is always such a treat. I have kept up with several through Facebook. Retired or not, teaching is a lifelong calling. You look great, btw, Kit!

I know what you mean,Kit! I enjoyed a several years volunteering at my sons' school. They are at an endearing age in the early primary grades, so excited to learn new things! Once they got older, the jr high and high school only wanted parents for all of the fundraisers, not important stuff!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a great feeling! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteMy mom loves to see and or hear about her "students" too.
ReplyDeleteYep! That is wonderful! I still love keeping up with my kids friends that I have known since they were little. Good luck to Chloe!!! Thanks Buddy, for the great words of wisdom! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Chloe! I am sure you were her favorite teacher of all time!! Smiles in Anchorage!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow touching! Believe or or not, I'm a former contestant. But I didn't last long. ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved the quote today!
Teachers are the best people in the world! Thanks for sharing!

How fun! I used to love the spelling bee :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat to see one of your students excel like that, Kit.... As an old teacher myself, I know that it's neat to see former students grow up and do well.
ReplyDeleteLove the post about Cosmo the kitty... Glad Cosmo found his way to your home.
Also--loved seeing the most about the visitor, Max.... I'm sure he enjoyed his time with your guys and I know your guys enjoyed having him...
About 8 inches of snow here now --and it's still snowing.

Kit, I think so much of you!!! I would be at your blog everyday and talk to you everyday!!!!!!!! But I have a problem with your blog because I'm on dial-up!!!! It takes 30 to 40 minutes to load even one picture. 20 minutes more for two. Using the refresh button at least 2 times and then not all pics will load. I just don't have that kind of time!! It is the same way on some other blogs too. Some blogs are no trouble at all. I don't know why that is, do you??
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should just e mail you all the time. But I wish I could see your pictures and your videos!!!!
Love you all, Fern
I respect all teachers! Teaching is about love and it leaves a huge mark on many. Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTwink!
Teachers are the best!! It is too bad that they didn't know what was wrong with me!

ReplyDeleteGrandma was a teacher too, she loves seeing the kids all grown up too..

ReplyDeleteThat must have made you very proud. Our Mom says she can tell you were just like she was - truly in love with your profession.
ReplyDeleteWoos, Phantom and Thunder

ReplyDeleteThat's so cool. Seeing your little tiny student grow up into a poised young lady. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd, a great Lab photo!
Congratulations on your student! Must have been fun to be part of it all.
