It's Teacher Appreciation Day as I write this and I have been thinking about qualities of a good teacher. From young childhood, Hannah has had a desire to help children in need. She thought that she would be living in an inner city area, counseling and mentoring children in need. All through college her ministries led her to working with privileged children more often than not. She found that children coming from privileged homes were as needy as those coming from impoverished communities. Their needs were different but had just as serious side effects as anyone else. Many different things led her to teaching in a Christian school. And after two years of teaching first grade, I can't imagine Hannah doing anything else.
I love this picture of her. Her love for the children she teaches is so apparent and they love her back. She isn't a typical school teacher; she's sad if her breaks seem long. For the past fifteen months she has also been getting her Master's in education while teaching full time.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to my favorite first grade teacher!
