Let's see...I'll start with the sad, and end up on a better note!
The worst memory I have, is probably just the saddest. When I was in 3rd grade, my classmate passed away. I can't remember what kind of disease he had, but we all knew he was sick, and one Sunday I was at church, and the priest made the annoucements of who had passed that week, and Matthew was in there. I remember going to school the next day, and the entire school was so quiet. Matthew wasn't one of my close friends, but I had gone to school with him since kindergarten, and he was in my CCD class. So it hit hard, but not as bad as it would have been if I had known him better....
On to my best memory...that would have to be in 2nd grade. I had the coolest teacher EVER. Mr. Krugly stood on our desks, always made us laugh - and last but certainly not least - taught us how to write in cursive with shaving cream! To this day I get a lil smile on my face every time I see shaving cream! It was such a creative way, and like my mom said later on, it was a great way to clean the desks!

hahaha Love the shaving cream story... I will never forget the deaths of classmates as I went through my school years. Truely those are bittersweet memories of growing.
awww, what a great teacher.
It's hard when we're so young to understand the lose of a classmate, It's a difficult thing for a child to understand.
thats so cool about the shaving cream...poor that little boy..but it was good he didnt suffer for long! how sad thou!
that's so sad about your classmate :(
I had a botany teacher in high school that was cool like yours. She made up for all the annoying teachers!
you made me think of a similar situation I went through in grammar school - Kenny Krouse - died really young - like in second grade I think. I remember how scared it made all of us and how hard to understand. I can totally relate to this - thanks for sharing. A good teacher can really make a marked impact on our lives - huh??
