Today is #TeacherAppreciationDay so I thought I’d share a photo from my teaching days. This was taken on Back-to-School Night in 2004. At that point, I was teaching the afternoon kindergarten class and shared a classroom with the morning kindergarten teacher. I learned so much by observing the morning teachers (next door was also a kindergarten room). It still hurts, sometimes more than others, that I lost my teaching career due to illness.
