I just retired from education, so this is a particularly poignant question for me. I loved the kids—most of them were so sweet and so much fun! I loved being a librarian (unfortunately only two years out of my 18 year career) SO much! It was so much fun! And I loved (and still do) the friendships that I made during those years—such wonderful people! ❤️

Susanita Happy retirement! 2d
dabbe Happy retirement! I can truly believe how much you'll miss it, but you'll find new purpose in this after-school life, too! Thanks for sharing. 🧡🤎💛 2d

CindyMyLifeIsLit Thanks, @dabbe ! Those elements, along with others, brought me much joy, but they were always inevitably outweighed by the grind of planning and grading. Add to that increasing micromanagement of curriculum and the pivot away from reading whole novels and the disdain for classic lit, and I was done! So far, retirement has been great! 🥳 😴📚😁 1d
dabbe @CindyMyLifeIsLit OMG; agree on EVERYTHING you said! Especially about retirement! 😂😍😂 1d

Took me all day but I finally came up with three things.

1) The library.
2) Marching band.
3) Swings.

#tlt #threelistthursday

dabbe L😍VE these, especially the swings. Thanks for sharing. 💛🤎🧡 3d
Reggie I was a big band nerd. President of the band my senior year. Allstate. AllDistrict. I miss being part of something like a group of 50-70 people who work together to make something beautiful. 3d

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

1. I have to steal @Kshakal answer, Scholastic Book Fairs. Gosh, the thrill!
2. Playing in the band, being the drum major 🤓 🪈
3. Miss Nancy Lindell, best teacher EVER!

Bonus - seeing friends. I‘m looking sort of forward to a gathering tomorrow to celebrate 36 years? We could not do math.

Tagging all the school kids!

dabbe L😍VE this! And #3? What fun! Have a blast! Thanks for sharing. 🧡🤎💛 3d
AmyG I forgot the book fair. I LOVED those. 3d

1. Scholastic book fairs and the book flyers - I‘m still searching for the high these two things gave me 😂
2. The smell and feel of new school supplies. Each folder and notebook was color coordinated and the “ugly” colors were always my math ones 🤣
3. New clothes for the school year! Omg! Is there a better feeling than feeling 100% confident in your first day of school outfit?!

This was a fun trip down memory lane @dabbe Thank you 😁

Leftcoastzen Love your choices! 4d
Aims42 @Leftcoastzen Awww, thanks!! 🥰 4d
dabbe Boy, are we alike! As an English teacher, I furnished my whole room library thanks to Scholastic! Handling all the money, though, whoah! Same for #s 2 and 3! Thanks for sharing. 🧡🤎💛 3d
Aims42 @dabbe Lol!! I can‘t imagine all the money that would come in, and it was all cash and checks back in the day too 😆 No Zelle, no Venmo lol 💛🧡🩷 3d

Thanks to all who shared. 🧡🤎💛
1. Meeting this gal in high school. We're still best friends even though were a thousand miles away from each other. 👯
2. This group of seniors from my sorority at the University of AZ. We went through a lot together. 🏝️
3. Dressing up with my English colleagues every Halloween. Such fun. 💀

dabbe #2: Boy, were you lucky! 😂 Thanks for sharing. 💛🤎🧡 4d
Aims42 Scholastic Book fairs were THE BEST!!! Loved when they came and honestly, they introduced me to the idea that buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies 😆 Also, loved the book sale flyers too. I‘d go home and very carefully circle all the books I wanted lol 4d
peaKnit Oh scholastic books fairs, the best! 3d
BethM Let me tell you- when I got to take Wes to his first scholastic book fair last year my heart healed 😂❤️ @Aims42 I think I look forward to fliers more than my son right now 😂 3d

1) The school library. It was the place that I discovered some of my favourite books. Jane Eyre, Jacob Have I Loved, etc. it was also the place that I felt the safest @ school.

2) My three bookclub friends. It was the place where I met my longest friends, almost 30 years ago.

3) My English and socials/history classes. Also discovered some of my favourite books in those places. ⤵️

melissajayne All Quiet on the Western Front, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Tale of Two Cities 4d
dabbe Yay to school libraries being safe havens for so many of us. L😍VE that you still have your bookclub friends, too! Thanks for sharing. 💛🤎🧡 4d

1. I loved (and still love) summer vacation, even if lately it‘s more of an ideal than a reality. Anyway, I‘ve also appreciated returning to the structure of the school year, even if my younger self didn‘t necessarily articulate it that way.
2. In elementary school I loved music class in whatever form it was offered.
3. In high school I loved Spanish class.

I also love that there‘s a BTS Leslie Meier cozy mystery!

dabbe I lived for summer vacations and music, too! Thanks for sharing. 💛🤎🧡 4d

#TLT #threelistthursday three things I love about school 1. Every day is different this is doubly/triply true for me because I‘m a supply/occasional teacher by choice 2. I work at the same school all the time now and I often tell the teachers I will plan an art lesson for them ( lessen their work load) 3. The kids think I‘m actually the school art teacher ( if only that job existed) I post the art we do on my IG acc‘t with the same name @mcctrish

Karisa Love it! 😍 4d
kspenmoll Wonderful- I am so sure teachers appreciate you! 4d
Aims42 Omg! I love this post, and I‘m running to follow you on Insta 😍 4d

mcctrish @Aims42 come on over ❤️❤️❤️ 4d
mcctrish @tpixie 🥰❤️ 4d
AmyG This is awesome. I loved art in school. 4d
mcctrish @AmyG I try to mix it up with lessons inspired by artists, using multiple mediums, techniques, giving them some wiggle room to personalize their art ( the lions in the pic- we made a standard face and then using specific colours they could create the mane however they wanted ) 4d
Tamra Fantastic! It‘s shame they don‘t have you and/another art teacher full time. (edited) 4d
mcctrish @Tamra why we can‘t properly fund education is beyond me 4d
