My married name was Shurtz (pronounced shirts). So, when I substitute for the younger grades, I draw a shirt on the board and write Ms. Shurtz inside. This picture was drawn by a second grader and put a smile on my face. She gave it to me on a Thursday afternoon in November. It had been a long week. I was in the 7th classroom (and 3rd school) in 4 days. The teachers had grade-level meetings at the district office that week. So, Tuesday I was subbing for a kindergarten teacher in the morning and a different kindergarten teacher in the afternoon. Same for first grade on Wednesday and second grade on Thursday. I was exhausted. So, I really appreciated the thought that went into this simple drawing. She signed her name at the bottom so I can remember who it's from.
