Mrs. Clayton

These are a selection of pictures from Harry’s kindergarten class.

Harry loves going to school. He can’t wait to get there in the morning to see his buddies and start his “morning work”. The number one reason why he is so excited is because of his amazing teacher, Mrs. Clayton.

She is so enthusiastic about teaching and it really shows in her interaction with the “kiddo’s,” as she calls them.

She puts so much time and effort into the education of my little boy that I feel like I can’t let her down. For instance, she has put her own money into buying tons of books for all of the kids to bring home and read nightly.

So we’ve made it a ritual in our house that every night, Harry gets his reader from his little green froggy folder and reads to us. Under Mrs. Clayton’s tutelage he has become an accomplished reader virtually overnight.

She is also very hip and au courant (I had to pull that word out of my 8th grade french class bag of tricks) She is the first kindergarten teacher I have run across who can control a roomful of five year olds, rock her Manolo’s and not even break a sweat.

I wish my kindergarten teacher was cool enough to wear leopard print tights…about all I can remember is the yardstick smacking my backside…ouch!

Anyway this post is for Mrs. Clayton, an inspiring teacher.
