When Does Your Head Swell?

I received a most gracious compliment, today, from Mrs. B-B. She was subbing for Mrs. Phillips. The compliment stems from today's lesson on Permeability. That little pat on the head recharged me.
In turn, my coworkers.

Mrs. Helminiak
A last minute substitution for Mrs. Pulizzi, who is out on sick leave. This woman picked up the ball and has been running with it, ever since. The kids love her and she is here each night to somewhere closer to 5 p.m. A remarkable lady and, as turns out, has become a valuable friend.

Miss Porter
Another last minute substitution for Mrs. Fry. She has become a no-nonsense kinda reading teacher that makes her kids accountable, responsible and mannerly. She invites them in for tutoring during lunch and stays after school, every night, helping kiddoes maneuver through the perils of comprehension. She has taken ownership of the reading classroom and is a true asset to the sixth grade department.

Mrs. Antonacci
Whew! Remarkable woman. With two of our number out, she has become our team leader. She gives 150% to her kids and coworkers. Gotta tell ya, those days I am ready to pull out what is left of my hair, she is there to calm me down. And, now that she has included me in the "Buckle-down" math series during BASE, I often ponder how she manages. Such a talented and gifted woman. Oh, did I share? She is unofficially, my little sister.

Well, that's my team, my cohorts, my friends, my buds, my family. But, I also sing praises to the other teachers that have direct contact with my sixth graders.

Do you have a favorite teacher? Who? Why? There will be a quiz, later.

Have a great night, folks.
