25 Things We Love About Ms. Y
posted Friday May 7th, 2010
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we gathered the family around the table last night and came up with a list of things we love about Sophie’s teacher, Ms. Y.
I could write a book on the topic, but I think this is a good start. All four of us — Sophie, Annabelle, Ray and I — contributed. I thought it was notable that both Annabelle and I came up with “She is patient.”
She is, and a lot of other things:

A word about the photo: I was walking in from lunch, wondering what I’d put since I can’t put a photo of the anonymous teacher, when I noticed a prickly pear cactus making a perfect heart — something Ms. Y would particularly appreciate, I think. Kismet!
I’m not sure what is worse – if Ray came up with reason #19, or if he didn’t.
Frame that for Ms. Y right NOW! It beats a coffee mug with an apple on it any day.
