Heartfelt Stories

After my own career in education which spanned 40 years, I was given a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul Celebrates Teachers. As I read the selected stories, tears flowed. It is so wonderful to read about the dedication of teachers and the unique bond that exists between those who love their chosen profession and their students. The last story in the book I know to be true and each time I read it, I cry with empathy and joy, for the writer is my daughter, Kristin Spengler Zerbe. She is the most dedicated and talented teacher I know. After 11 years in the English classroom, her students constantly show her their appreciation with similar gestures of thanks. This is a GREAT GIFT book for anyone.

A beautiful collection of stories for teachers and students!

This book personifies what it is that makes the bond between teacher and student so vital. The relationship that exists between a teacher and his or her students is what makes the classroom a special place for children to learn and grow.A perfect gift for teachers or graduates, this book includes touching stories that bring the classroom to life. From the first day of school, to the learning experiences that are shared through a classroom pet, to students giving thanks for a special teacher, these stories will touch the heart of everyone who reads them.Each of us have been a student at some point during our lifetime. We have each learned and grown because of the hard work of teachers who cared enough to teach us. This book is the perfect way to say thank you to these special people - people who do what they do with no expectations of ever being thanked. It's such a joy to discover a book that represents so well the gifts of learning that have been bestowed upon each of us as students. Thank you, Mrs. Jewell, Mrs. Sellars, Mrs. Southworth ... wherever you are. Your labor of love has not gone unnoticed.
