I taught for 40 years and then continue to sub and visit schools. I love looking at students through the eyes of untapped potential. I loved this challenge. My friend who teaches 3rd grade where I subbed and did a lot of poetry read it to her class. I know they really liked it. I spent a lot of time with those kids this year.<br />Janet Clare F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-87003229013078907702019-06-25T20:45:02.554-04:002019-06-25T20:45:02.554-04:00Thank you, Margaret for your comment.
