Memorable Moments Frozen in Time (Paperback)

In 1966, the doors suddenly flew open from one of the largest elementary and middle schools in all of New England, and 37 years of classic memories burst forth. Can you imagine so many moments frozen in time From that chaotic first day filled with anticipation and joy, to the tranquility of retirement filled with emotion and questionable decisions... the reader will thoroughly enjoy each and every adventure.
You will laugh at stories of the birthday girl, children trading color cards, one student swallowing live night crawlers, one eating as many bananas as is humanly possible, a student poem beginning with, "Under the spreading chestnut tree," a special teacher disguise, and the green hot dogs. Then, you will enjoy the indelible ink of a printing press completely ruining a brand new trench coat, lunch and recess capers, a teacher-student wrestling match, and the saga of Frick and Frack, featuring an overturned boat. How informative You will read about open and closed classrooms, teachers reacting with administrators and parents, mixed ability groups, and grouping by ability. What an emotional rollercoaster when you are presented with lessons in tragedy, the wall of fame, the man with the magnetic smile, and the final years leading to retirement.
How interesting Clever chapter titles include, "Not the Dummy Group Again," "Them's Fighting Words, Abe," The Walls Come Tumbling Down," "Distractions You Say " "The Big Bad Bully," "Classic Teacher Moments," "Black Ice," and "Dare We Try Again." The creative titles definitely encourage focused reading and the idea of not wanting to " put the book down." This book is both informative and amusing, and is written in tribute to educators, parents, and children everywhere. The events are exactly as they happened. Only the names have been changed. To put it as simply as possible, it is merely one teacher's perspective on special memories over a long and glorious career. After reading, you will easily understand why each and every moment will live in his heart forever.
