We were talking today at work about being kids and elementary school. I’m always surprised by people not really remembering who their teachers were. For me, it’s apparently a sign of a good childhood or I just have that sort of memory. Actually, school bored me to death. I hated it, it took away from my time I could spend watching TV. That’s a subject for another blog though.
Anyhow, I easily rattled off all of my teachers. Here goes for those who care:
Kindergarten: Miss Otto
1st – Mrs. Welday
2nd – Mrs. Elzroth
3rd – Mrs. Glessner
4th – Mrs. Renninger
5th – Mrs. Elzroth (yep, the same one from above, she was a great teacher!!)
6th – Mrs. Carpenter
7th homeroom – Mr. Zimmerly
8th homeroom – Mr. Schultz
I still remember all of their first names as well. You could probably quiz me on my high school teachers as well. I know them too.
Go figure, I remember the teachers better than some of my classmate names.
That’s pretty impressive. I find myself straining to remember what I did last weekend!!!
Um when he says “people,” he means me. Yeah, didn’t care too much for school.
Let’s see if I can do it:
Kindergarten: Mrs.Edager (not sure I spelled it right – because there wasn’t a lot of spelling in that class.)
1st Grade: Mrs. Groeb
2nd Grade: Mrs. Little
3rd Grade: Mrs. Grantham
4th Grade: Mrs. Elsworth
5th Grade: Mrs. Wiethoff
6th Grade: Mr. Boyce
maybe this is because I am a teacher now – so I have been doing a lot of reflection.
