I'm ...Thanks for your wonderful books, Leslie.<br /><br />I'm so glad you found Mrs. Brownworth! Teachers can make all the difference. <br /><br />My 4th grade teacher, Avis Clay, also had a huge influence on me. <br /><br />Like Leslie, I didn't think of myself as a writer, at least not a creative one. <br /><br />When I was teaching 4th grade myself (of course inspired by Mrs. Clay), I took a workshop on teaching poetry writing to children. During that time, I started writing poetry. I wrote a poem about Mrs. Clay and sent it to her. She then visited my 4th grade class and I was able to introduce my students to the woman who was responsible for me choosing to be their teacher.<br /><br />Every child needs a Mrs. Brownworth or Mrs. Clay.Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.com
