Throw Back Thursday

A former classmate of mine posted this picture of my second grade class last week on Facebook! I hadn’t seen this picture in years.

2nd grade

I am in the back row the fourth from the right. Head band, curly hair and big smile.

I loved my second grade teacher, Miss Norris. She was young and interested, and had a great way of taking the mundane and making it fun and exciting!

I look at these sweet innocent faces and I think how wonderful life was for these kids. This was, of course, before life happens and you find yourself challenged. One of my classmates, Rae-Ann (third from the left, top row) died of cancer. She was such a terrific person.

Ah yes. Life. Like John Lennon wrote “Before you cross the street, take my hand. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”.

  1. Love this. And there are over 30 kids in the class, 1 teacher, and no extra help. I bet she did a great job and everyone (mostly;) behaved nicely and were respectful.
